By Plenary Sessions: Anti Poolamets

Insufficient data

The speaker supports financial regulation, backing restrictions on excessive profit-taking and the curbing of quick loan firms. He actively advocates for the introduction of a bank tax, viewing it as a crucial revenue stream that would help alleviate the government’s concerns about revenue collection. This stance is focused more on boosting state income than on market deregulation.

Economic perspectives emphasize the necessity of rapid economic growth and restoring exports, while simultaneously opposing tax hikes that would deepen the current downturn. There is support for Estonian IT companies, but strict regulation of the platform economy (specifically mentioning Bolt) is demanded. This regulation is necessary to ensure legal compliance, tax payments, and to prevent the importation of low-productivity, non-Estonian-speaking labor. Furthermore, the closure of consulates is viewed as economically harmful from the perspective of business diplomacy.
