Economic perspectives stress the importance of reducing consumption and curbing waste to protect the environment. They advocate for fiscal and energy efficiency, citing the reduction in the use of one- and two-cent coins as an example.

The economic viewpoints center on the equitable distribution of state funding, calling for a rapid readjustment of equalization fund coefficients to support rural areas that are declining due to economic factors. The objective is to keep people living locally, preventing subsequent social and security costs, and to support private schools in sparsely populated areas regarding operating expenses on an equal footing with municipal schools.

Economic perspectives stress the need to raise wages in Estonia in order to attract back specialists and technicians currently working abroad, particularly in sectors like the metal industry. The speaker is vehemently opposed to the mass importation of cheap labor, viewing it as an inefficient and socially detrimental solution. He directly links the labor shortage problem to the insufficient wage levels within Estonia.

Economic views stress the necessity of highly skilled specialists who are already exempt from existing quotas. The speaker is vehemently against the policy, which seems designed to bring in cheap labor, and questions whether it is truly necessary for the Estonian economy.

Supports state intervention and increased permanent spending in the education sector, contrasting with the government’s practice of using one-off sums. It demands a significant increase in teachers' salaries (20% for senior/master teachers within the career model) and the state acting as the "engine" to ensure a uniform educational standard. It criticizes the state's "handouts" to wealthier local governments.
