By Plenary Sessions: Rene Kokk

Data is scarce.

The economic outlook is strongly opposed to tax hikes, viewing current policy as a threat to economic growth and the potential relocation of businesses outside of Estonia. He emphasizes that the tax burden is excessive, forcing people to choose between purchasing food and paying their taxes. The speaker predicts an increase in cash transactions and tax optimization strategies designed to evade taxes.

Economic perspectives emphasize the need to halt the outflow of businesses and people and improve the state of the nation's finances, which the speaker believes are completely broken. Support is given to measures that would incentivize those who have left Estonia to return, favoring this solution over replacing them with foreign labor.

Economic perspectives oppose new taxes (specifically the car tax) and emphasize the necessity of improving public finance management and budget transparency. Fiscal discipline is preferred over the introduction of new taxes, given that the state has billions in unspent funds. The question is raised whether the car tax is even financially necessary.
