By Plenary Sessions: Siim Pohlak

Economic views are strongly opposed to regulation within the context of climate policy. It is believed that the restrictions and regulations imposed due to 'climate alarmism' have a crippling and detrimental effect on the Estonian economy. Freedom of economic activity is favored over excessive regulation.

There is not enough data.

The economic views emphasize strict fiscal discipline and cost savings, criticizing the government's expenditure on the reorganization of ministries, which costs millions of euros. The speaker is skeptical of the government's claims that costs will decrease within five or six years, citing Estonia's current inflation rate. He prioritizes living standards, the economy, and energy issues.

The economic perspectives focus on the relationship between working hours and consumption. The speaker examines whether the draft legislation primarily supports a model focused on increasing domestic consumption (shopping, cafes) or acknowledges the potential negative impact on economic productivity. No preference is expressed; rather, the economic foundation of the policy is being sought.

Economic perspectives emphasize fiscal prudence and support the suspension or withdrawal of Rail Baltic funding until the project’s circumstances are clarified. This indicates a desire to avoid the continued state financing of projects that have failed or proven unsuccessful.

Economic views are strongly opposed to tax increases, stressing that the car tax will raise business costs and diminish the competitiveness of Estonian enterprises. The speaker argues that tax hikes will cool down the Estonian economy, which is already in decline, and force small businesses to cut jobs. They prefer solving budgetary problems through reducing bureaucracy and fighting corruption, rather than imposing new taxes.
