The political position is clearly liberal and supportive of the market economy, focusing on boosting economic competitiveness, productivity, and digitalization. There is a strong emphasis on free market principles and the urgent need to restore market competition, preferring due process procedures (misdemeanor proceedings) over the administrative punitive authority of government officials. It strongly supports strategic state intervention in the capital market (SmartCap) and business diplomacy (Team Estonia).

The speaker, representing the positions of Eesti 200, strongly emphasizes the necessity of finding a balance point in the 2025 budget between fixing public finances, ensuring security, and promoting economic growth. The political framework is heavily policy- and performance-based, supporting the idea of a zero-based budget (ZBB) as a tool for reducing state expenditures and increasing efficiency. Key issues include the security tax and the implementation of the personalized state concept, aimed at avoiding future tax increases and making benefits needs-based.
