By Plenary Sessions: Siim Pohlak

Economic viewpoints stress fiscal responsibility and the necessity of controlling social spending to prevent the misuse of benefits. The speaker is concerned that a large amount of money is being spent helping refugees without adequate oversight, which indicates support for strict budgetary discipline.

The economic platform is strongly focused on tax cuts and stimulating the economy, standing in direct opposition to the government’s policy of tax increases. It is emphasized that state revenues should grow through consumer spending, corporate investment, and exports, rather than by raising taxes. The platform supports fiscal discipline and opposes the budget deficit, accusing the government of intentionally increasing poverty.

Economic policy views are strongly focused on easing the tax burden, especially on essential goods, in order to improve people's standard of living. There is support for lowering the Value Added Tax (VAT) to 5%, and it is emphasized that high prices are unfair, with indications that merchants are also prepared to lower prices if the tax burden is reduced.

Economic perspectives focus on consumer protection and controlling electricity prices. The speaker sharply criticizes the failure of the electricity exchange to function properly and demands swift government intervention to prevent price hikes (potentially €300–€1000 per MWh) during the cold winter months.

The economic platform is strongly focused on halting the recession and opposing tax hikes that damage business competitiveness. The speaker supports reducing the tax burden on the oil shale sector and criticizes the government for making choices that drive up energy costs for Estonian people and businesses, even though the state treasury receives revenue through these measures.
