Economic views emphasize fiscal discipline and concern over the automatic growth of expenditures linked to indexation and the minimum wage. The speaker is trying to understand the structural imbalance of the budget, where expenditures are growing faster than revenues.

The speaker prefers a free market economy and minimal state subsidies, arguing that support should only be considered in the event of market failure. He emphasizes that the operating cost of nuclear energy is low (forecasted at 3 cents/kWh), which ensures an affordable price for the consumer, and that the recovery of capital costs is a matter for the investor. He notes that producing heat using nuclear energy could be many times cheaper than the current price of district heating.

Economic perspectives are strongly focused on innovation and export, emphasizing the need to shift towards high-technology and high value-added production. Strategic investment in international scientific cooperation (CERN, ESA) is supported as a method for boosting export capabilities and creating a qualified workforce. Regarding the labor force, the necessity of motivating people to choose fields such as engineering and knowledge-intensive sectors is highlighted.

Supports regulatory measures that promote economic growth, such as exempting installers of battery storage systems from network fees, in order to increase storage capacity held by private entities. It sees a significant advantage in reducing bureaucracy (within the scope of an integrated permit) for accelerating investments and reducing the number of legal disputes.
