The economic platform strongly advocates for tax reductions, particularly lowering the VAT on foodstuffs, aiming to mitigate the effects of inflation and support household incomes. It criticizes the government's recent tax increases (VAT rising to 24%, and income tax hikes) and condemns budgetary waste. Furthermore, it supports protecting domestic producers against dumping prices and opposes subsidies that primarily benefit the wealthy (such as electric vehicle subsidies).

It supports fiscal discipline and transparent state budget management, while remaining critical of the current budgetary framework, as it allows for major errors and double counting. The necessity of accountability and efficiency in public sector finance is emphasized.

Economic viewpoints stress fiscal responsibility and risk management within state-owned enterprises, driven by concerns over the squandering of taxpayer funds following Nordica's bankruptcy. Strict supervision and the implementation of special audits are supported across all state commercial companies to prevent management errors and financial losses.

Economic perspectives center on fiscal transparency and accountability regarding public spending. The necessity is stressed for taxpayers to clearly understand how the funds allocated to top officials are spent, which indicates a strong focus on the economical and controlled use of public funds.

Economic views emphasize the need to strategically invest in existing domestic energy production (oil shale) to ensure independence and security. This indicates a preference for long-term risk reduction over external supply.
