By Plenary Sessions: Arvo Aller

Economic positions stress fiscal discipline and solidarity, supporting the elimination of expense reimbursements for members of parliament (MPs), which total approximately 1.4 million euros. The aim is to set an example during a difficult period by prioritizing savings over political privileges.

Economic perspectives strongly advocate for investments to remain in Estonia and for job creation, particularly within the biomass processing and timber industries. Concerns are also raised regarding the balance between taxation and environmental sustainability, alongside criticism directed at the controversial use of public procurement.

The speaker advocates for lowering taxes to stimulate the economy, specifically reducing VAT on food and pharmaceuticals, in order to decrease costs for the end consumer. He is strongly opposed to new taxes (such as the sugar tax and the motor vehicle tax), arguing that they only exacerbate the existing lack of confidence. As an alternative source of funding, he proposes implementing a bank tax to avoid cutting subsidies and benefits currently provided to families.

Economic views are focused on opposing the increase in the tax burden (new taxes) and criticizing the reduction of family benefits. Preference is given to a fiscal policy that supports young people and families with the aim of boosting the birth rate.

Economic views focus on regulatory clarity and the performance of investments. Clarity is demanded regarding the deadlines for minimum tax declarations, and doubts are raised about the economic impact of renewable energy projects, given that local workers have not been observed. The interests of entrepreneurs are supported by questioning the necessity of ratifying the Korean aviation agreement and by emphasizing the inclusion of employers in healthcare information days.

The speaker stresses the importance of fiscal transparency and is skeptical about introducing new taxes to fund salary increases while, simultaneously, there is talk of making cutbacks. He is demanding a precise accounting of the planned size and utilization of state budget revenues, specifically revenues from things like emissions trading.

The speaker advocates for policies that help families and individuals save money through taxation, and he is against taxes that impoverish them. He supports introducing a bank tax to utilize the profits generated by the rise in Euribor for the country's benefit. He criticizes the government's current activities as "redistribution of poverty."
