There is not enough data.

Economic perspectives are centered on tax revenue forecasts and fiscal efficiency, especially regarding car purchases. Concerns are being raised about whether the one-time taxes will be collected as anticipated and how the annual taxes will be collected going forward. A link is perceived between an increased number of cars and a better quality of life ("more cars, life gets better").

There is not enough data.

It supports targeted increases in public sector spending on education and culture to fulfill commitments and value highly educated professionals. It proposes covering the budget through savings in state administrative costs, criticizing the government for failing to utilize these opportunities adequately. Furthermore, it supports a wage increase corresponding to the projected rise in the Consumer Price Index (5%).

Economic perspectives focus on the salary issues of education workers and state budget priorities. The speaker demands the allocation of additional funds for financing the career model, opposing its funding from within the existing wage fund or from the internal reserves of the education sector.

The economic perspective is demonstrated by defending the tax exemption for residential land, an initiative started by Isamaa, against critics who argue that it stifles economic activity. The speaker emphasizes the social aspect, pointing specifically to elderly residents who are accustomed to viewing their plots as their permanent homes, contrasting this sentiment with a purely economic principle of turnover.

Economic views are strongly opposed to tax hikes, especially when they are cumulative and make life harder for families. The car tax is viewed as a negative factor that discourages the purchase and maintenance of vehicles, which is essential for living in rural areas.

Economic perspectives relate to the distribution of education spending and the regional economy. The speaker is concerned that national requirements regarding the proportion of the wage fund (at least 60% of current expenditures) may force local municipalities to optimize costs by closing schools. He/She refers to principles of education economics, but believes that regional policy must take precedence over them.

The primary economic stance involves strong opposition to the growth of bureaucracy and the proliferation of regulations, which they seek at least to slow down or "chain to a rock." This indicates a favorable disposition toward alleviating the regulatory burden. The car tax is indirectly criticized, as it creates financial hardship in rural areas.

Economic views focus on regional viability, criticizing the aggressive price hikes imposed by monopolistic state-owned companies (like Elektrilevi), which negatively impact people's livelihoods and small-scale production. We do not support paying hourly wages to sports referees out of the state budget, arguing that this is the responsibility of event organizers.
