By Plenary Sessions: Aivar Sõerd

The most critical issue is the replacement of members of the Bank of Estonia Supervisory Board in accordance with the law, as the previous members took up positions in the Government of the Republic. The political stance is strongly procedural and institutional, emphasizing strict adherence to the law (the Bank of Estonia Act) and ensuring institutional continuity. Personnel selection is strictly policy-based, focusing on legal requirements and the correctness of the procedure.

The political position focuses on evaluating the tax policy and the fulfillment of promises made by the opposition parties (EKRE and the Center Party) during their previous term in government. Particular emphasis is placed on the issue of reducing VAT on foodstuffs, calling into question the actual actions of the opponents while they were in power. This position is strongly performance-based, demanding accountability for past political decisions.

The political position is one of strong opposition to the opposition's draft bill concerning the taxation of banks' net interest income. This opposition is justified by the bill's inadequate preparation, flawed economic forecasts, and the negative impact it would have on the banking sector. The speaker emphasizes the need for stability and predictability within the tax system, arguing against making tax changes based purely on short-term economic cycles.
