By Plenary Sessions: Aivar Sõerd

The speaker supports the economic relaunch through investments, but emphasizes that expenditures must be results-oriented and boost the competitiveness of the European Union. He advocates for channeling resources into innovation and security, prioritizing those measures whose value, in his estimation, outweighs that of sustainability reports.

Economic views are strongly pro-competitiveness and anti-tax hikes, particularly concerning corporate income tax and dividend taxation. Emphasis is placed on the necessity of preventing capital flight and maintaining consumer confidence by avoiding successive tax increases. They support a fiscal policy designed to stimulate the economy, even if it means running a deficit.

Economic views emphasize the central role of competitiveness and labor productivity in economic growth. The speaker considers the decline in productivity alarming and calls for strict performance monitoring within the framework of development plans.

Economic perspectives emphasize the integrity of budgetary procedures and require adherence to activity-based budgeting methodology when implementing cost reductions. Furthermore, concern is expressed that strict planning regulations could harm the economic interests of property owners and constitute an "infringement on property rights."

The economic outlook strongly favors the market economy and growth, stressing the necessity of diversifying business financing sources and reducing the administrative burden on enterprises. The objective is to develop the capital market so that companies can secure funding via the stock exchange and investment funds, rather than relying solely on banks.
