There is not enough data.

Strongly opposed to tax increases and new taxes (motor vehicle tax), viewing them as a burden on the working population. It criticizes the austerity budget, which eliminates the principle of regional balance and worsens the accessibility of services. Skeptical regarding the Just Transition Fund, as it fails to compensate for the job losses in the oil shale sector.

Economic views are tied to protecting industry and regional resources, standing in opposition to administrative decisions that might lead to industrial closures. He considers it illogical to place land management operations under a ministry responsible for industry, especially when that industry is being shut down. The preferred approach is to manage mineral resources and planning under a ministry that handles regional policy and the actual resource users (farmers, foresters).

Economic perspectives emphasize the well-being and efficiency of the workforce, asserting that rest and spending time with family significantly improve work performance. There is strong opposition to the coalition's proposed tax increases, particularly when they are introduced without a proper impact assessment. Support is given to increasing the leisure time available to working people, even at the cost of foregoing state revenue.

Economic views are critical of the car tax, arguing that it neither increases the wealth of the Estonian people nor improves their livelihood. Emphasis is placed on the need to reduce regional inequality, which calls into question the positive impact of the current tax policy.

Economic views stress fiscal discipline and transparency concerning major state investments (like Rail Baltic), demanding an exact financial and percentage overview of Estonia's contribution. Regulatory relief is supported via the reduction of bureaucracy.

The speaker is critical of the economic policy that stifles competitiveness and leads to job losses (specifically in the oil shale sector). He supports measures that foster economic growth, citing the previous reduction of excise duties as a positive example. Furthermore, he opposes the increase in land tax, which disproportionately burdens agricultural producers, and criticizes the bureaucracy that prevents farmers from accessing agricultural subsidies.
