By Plenary Sessions: Maris Lauri

The political position heavily focuses on the smooth operation and regulation of the financial system, which is viewed as the economy's lifeblood. The speaker stresses the necessity of resolving long-standing regulatory issues, such as the oversight of credit and savings associations and the establishment of a positive credit register. This position is policy- and results-driven, strongly supporting supervision while simultaneously cautioning against excessive rigidity within the system.

The most crucial issue is the poor financial health of the Estonian state and the growing budget deficit, which is approaching the 5% threshold. The speaker urgently calls for the rapid rectification of the budget and cost cutting, opposing living beyond our means and increasing spending. The political framework is heavily results-oriented, focusing on fiscal discipline and accountability. The position strongly supports cuts and fiscal consolidation.
