The economic outlook is strongly geared toward growth and exports, opposing tax hikes (VAT, income tax, excises, car tax) which are viewed as suppressing consumption and investment. There is support for improving Estonia's competitiveness, increasing foreign investment, and reducing imports by prioritizing domestic goods. It is stressed that increasing wealth requires injecting additional resources into the economic cycle.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of fiscal discipline and sharply criticizes the critical state of the national budget, which is attributable to the actions of the previous government. He opposes the planned drastic tax increases, signaling resistance to increasing the tax burden simply to plug budget holes.

Economic perspectives focus on the fairness and targeted nature of taxation. The speaker opposes a tax that levies charges on economic assets that do not generate the costs (environmental pollution, road usage) for the coverage of which the tax was established, citing the need for specific tax differentiation.
