Samuti on oluline investeerida haridusse ja teadusse, et tagada pikaajaline kasvu potentsiaal. Fondi eksperdid rõhutavad, et valitsusel peaks olema valmis reageerima uutele väljakutsetele ja olema paindlik oma poliitikas. --- The International Monetary Fund's offices have begun working in Estonia to monitor the situation and provide advice to the government.

The dominant features are a combative and critical tone, and a style relying on facts combined with emotional rhetoric. It utilizes questions directed at the minister and the audience ("do you believe...?", "why specifically from Australia?") and stresses that the alleged health benefits are unconvincing. It combines specific, detailed arguments with universal human arguments (e.g., concerning low-wage earners). It generates strong opposition by employing clear emotional appeals and arguments based on competition, while still maintaining a formal register.
