Session Profile: Lauri Laats

The approach supports improving housing accessibility and simplifying loan conditions, alongside the swift implementation of these measures. This is based on proposals from the Bank of Estonia and the Financial Supervision Authority, as well as the analysis provided by the Ministry of Social Affairs. It equally advocates for cooperation among various stakeholders and the successful adoption of broader measures backed by the coalition. Criticism is mainly aimed at the opposition, which either fails to fully grasp the issues or attacks specific proposals without adequate analysis. The stance is both pragmatic and policy-focused; the goal is to achieve demonstrable impact and concrete results.

Highlights the role of institutions (the Bank of Estonia, the Financial Supervision Authority) and various committees, and stresses the need for continued dialogue.

The letter strongly refutes the opposition's criticism: it accuses Eesti 200 and the Reform Party of vagueness and insufficient analysis regarding the Centre Party's proposals; it emphasizes that some respondents made decisions without thorough analysis, and it defends the institutions (the Bank of Estonia, the Financial Supervision Authority). It posits that cooperation and thorough discussion are necessary, rather than simplified objections.
