By Plenary Sessions: Arvo Aller

Economic views are strongly aligned with agricultural producers, opposing the government's proposed tax increases (including excise duties, VAT, the heavy vehicle tax, and environmental fees). It is argued that this tax burden will make Estonian food significantly more expensive and stifle farmers' operations. They also support national supply security, which necessitates state intervention to guarantee food reserves.

The speaker advocates for policies that stimulate economic growth and reduce the tax burden, specifically highlighting the reduction of excise duty rates to boost business activity. Furthermore, they support increasing the compensation provided for the use of personal vehicles, signaling a positive stance on easing both business and labor expenditures.

Economic perspectives are tied to strategic investment in the defense industry, which is deemed to require acceleration and modernization. Food security is addressed as an issue of critical supply chain management and national preparedness, requiring government intervention.

The speaker opposes new taxes (like the car tax), particularly when they disproportionately hurt residents in rural areas. He is skeptical of mandatory investments that require constant borrowing, especially since any benefits (such as reduced utility costs) are ultimately offset by the loan repayments. Instead, he advocates for stimulating the economy and developing enterprise through improvements to road infrastructure.

The policy strongly advocates for tax cuts for both individuals (19.7%, 19.1%) and businesses to mitigate economic difficulties and 40% inflation. The objective is to enhance people's financial resilience, meet basic needs, and ensure the sustainable development of enterprises. Furthermore, it supports achieving state financial savings by reducing the number of officials at the Tax and Customs Board.

Insufficient data.

Economic views are strongly opposed to tax hikes, arguing that raising VAT, income tax, and excise duties will "tax the nation to death" and force businesses to close down. They prefer state funds to be directed toward bolstering domestic defense capabilities rather than foreign aid. Concern is also voiced regarding job losses in road transport companies because of the Rail Baltic project.

Not enough data

Economic views are focused on lowering taxes (reducing the VAT rate to 16.5% or 19.1%) as the main means of improving people's standard of living. A lower tax burden and measures that promote economic growth are preferred.

Economic considerations emphasize the transparency and value maximization of the sale of the state asset (Nordica). The speaker is concerned that the company might be sold before its potential profitability and viability have been fully established, thereby supporting the preservation of the national carrier.
