Our economic perspective advocates for lowering taxes (specifically, reducing VAT to 5%) in order to stimulate consumption and enhance the competitiveness of domestic producers. We prioritize achieving stable, long-term tax revenue and support micro and small enterprises, along with encouraging investment through retained earnings, which stands in opposition to the current policy of increasing taxation.

The speaker supports increasing public expenditure within the framework of the state budget strategy, demanding a significant pay raise for the employees of the Rescue Board and the Police and Border Guard Board (PPA). This demonstrates a readiness to prioritize internal security expenditure.

Economic perspectives concern the state's use of funds for digital development and international support. The speaker stresses the need to clarify whether the 800,000 euros for the mRiik app constitutes a fee for using the platform or direct support for the reconstruction of Ukraine.

The economic platform strongly advocates for tax cuts, particularly lowering the VAT on food products, in order to stimulate consumption and ease the burden on the end consumer. The speaker opposes raising indirect taxes (excise duties, VAT, and a potential car tax), arguing that these measures stifle consumption and increase the cost of living.

Economic viewpoints emphasize that the requirement for special food labeling is not an intervention in business freedom, but rather a means of ensuring clarity in consumer choices. The speaker prioritizes consumer information and safety over the desire of businesses to keep labeling optional, which indicates support for regulation aimed at ensuring a fair market.

Economic views indirectly relate to tax incentive policy, emphasizing the inclusion of NGOs on the list, which indicates support for targeted tax relief. The goal is to support charitable activities aimed at assisting Ukrainian combatants.

The speaker is critical of the increasing regulations and bureaucracy, which create difficulties for businesses and farmers and restrict production. He emphasizes the necessity of ensuring the livelihood and economic viability of people in rural areas. He opposes environmental measures that reduce carbon emissions by shutting down production.

Economic perspectives center on the efficient utilization of labor resources, raising questions regarding the employment of temporary protection beneficiaries and the support provided by the Unemployment Insurance Fund (Töötukassa). Robust state investment in regionally significant sports infrastructure is supported, provided that the funding has been planned within the framework of the budget strategy.
