By Plenary Sessions: Siim Pohlak

The economic viewpoints concern the management of local government assets and the protection of public property. The speaker opposes the sale of municipal property to local businessmen for paltry sums, stressing the necessity of fiscal integrity and safeguarding the public interest. He/She stands in opposition to the interests of businessmen who profit from municipal assets.

Economic views are focused on easing the tax burden, particularly by lowering the VAT on foodstuffs to boost people's purchasing power. The speaker considers the 22% VAT rate unfair and supports a wider tax overhaul. He prefers directing state financial resources toward supporting domestic credit unions rather than providing foreign aid.

Economic views are strongly opposed to tax hikes, especially concerning further taxation of ordinary citizens following several previous increases. Support is given to taxing the windfall profits of the banking sector (foreign major banks) as an alternative and fairer measure for balancing the budget. The government is criticized for running the budget into the ground.

Supports the taxation of major banks' unprecedented interest profits, while simultaneously opposing any increase in the tax burden on individuals (such as the car tax). It favors a fiscal policy designed to protect people suffering under inflation and high loan interest rates. Furthermore, it demands maximum state revenue from big capital and criticizes government agreements that have led to long-term financial losses for the country.

Strongly supports the taxation of excess profits of large capital, especially major foreign banks, considering it a fair way to stimulate the economy. It opposes shifting the tax burden onto individuals and labor (labor taxes), believing that foreign large capital in Estonia is totally undertaxed. It supports favoring national capital and protecting credit unions, and considers the liberalization of the second pension pillar to be the correct decision for protection against inflation.

Economic views address the functioning of the trade and service sectors, suggesting that the current situation (migration/language skills) prevents Estonians from making even simple purchases. No specific stances on taxes or regulations are put forward.
