Fifteenth Riigikogu, Fifth Session, Plenary Session.
We strongly support lowering taxes (reducing VAT from 22% to 20%) to stimulate the economy, boost purchasing power, and alleviate inflation. We oppose tax policies that favor the wealthy (such as the abolition of the progressive tax rate) and emphasize the need for tax system fairness, given that VAT disproportionately burdens lower-income individuals. We also advocate for improving the business environment through reduced input costs and enhanced investment opportunities.

Economic views are critical of the introduction of cheap labor and globalist approaches, which are considered experiments detrimental to the Estonian economy. Emphasis is placed on the need to solve the Estonian economy's "real problems" domestically.

Supports a meritocratic approach to economic decision-making, where competence and knowledge are prioritized. It expresses concern that gender quotas could begin distorting recruitment processes and extend to ordinary commercial entities (private limited companies and joint-stock companies), which would harm the natural functioning of the economy.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
Economic perspectives are strongly focused on lowering taxes, supporting the reduction of gasoline and diesel excise duties to zero. This is justified by the desire to promote entrepreneurship and achieve a significant drop in fuel prices, which indicates a growth-oriented approach.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The economic views are strongly opposed to tax hikes (especially VAT and labor taxes), viewing them as the primary driver of high prices. The speaker supports an active competition policy that would protect consumers and prevent market concentration among a narrow elite.
