By Plenary Sessions: Anti Poolamets

The economic perspectives center on labor market regulation, calling for stricter control over temporary agency workers and foreign labor to prevent the emergence of a "grey area." The speaker criticizes the Ministry of Interior for cutting costs on oversight, emphasizing the need to ensure legality and supervision, rather than allowing companies to self-regulate.

Insufficient data.

Not enough data.

The economic perspective focuses on prioritizing national defense funding, supporting the use of bonds and ultra-low interest loans for rapid investment. The green transition (specifically the €2.6 billion offshore wind project) is viewed as killing economic competitiveness and wasting national defense funds. Swift and decisive government spending to ensure security is strongly supported.

The speaker is calling for greater transparency and efficiency in public spending, criticizing the current activity-based budgeting system due to its inefficiency. They stress the necessity of acknowledging significant issues in budget preparation and support adjusting the budget to achieve better fiscal discipline.

Economic views emphasize fiscal discipline and responsible expenditure, advocating for the return of unspent public funds (surpluses) to the state. This indicates a prudent approach to managing the state budget.

Economic views are critical of the government’s spending priorities, contrasting the enormous subsidy for the wind energy business (2.5 billion) with minor savings achieved by cutting essential services. They support the preservation of jobs created through state presence (e.g., prison officers) in Ida-Virumaa and recommend negotiating with businesspeople to lower prices.
