Economic views support the green transition and the bioeconomy, seeing long-term economic benefit in this for both Estonia and Europe. Regulations are supported that ensure equal competition rules for companies operating in the shipping industry compared to those in other member states. The abandonment of fossil fuels is viewed as an economic and security inevitability.

Economic perspectives focus on regulatory clarity and determining the status of corporate assets (specifically, funds held in accounts). This indicates an interest in safeguarding business interests and ensuring financial stability within the banking system.

The speaker supports an environmentally friendly economic policy, which includes mandatory EU CO2 taxation, but stresses the necessity of compensatory measures (wage support for ship crews and a 25 million euro environmental measure). He/She considers the wage support to be a fundamentally beneficial measure for the Estonian state, aimed at preventing shipping companies (such as Tallink) from re-registering under the flags of other countries.

Economic views are pragmatic and regulatory, focusing on assessing the financial impact by calculating both potential revenue (15 million euros) and the cost to the shipping sector (8 million euros). There is support for clarity in the distribution of ETS revenue and for the ministry’s position that double taxation (between the EU and IMO systems) must be avoided. A situation where emissions from Estonian ships are low is preferred.

The economic perspective centers on the necessity of protecting livestock farmers from the substantial material damage caused by large predators, damage which is extensive (exceeding 100,000 euros). The speaker stresses that the state's failure to act is detrimental to rural life and local businesses.

The stance relates to raising the threshold (50% and 20% in the future), which signals a willingness to modify economic or regulatory barriers. A numerical adjustment is favored, consistent with the agreement reached during the discussions.

Supports regulations that ensure fair and just compensation (50% of the ticket price) for commercial carriers regarding state-mandated discounts. It favors fiscal discipline and control, requiring compensation payments to be based on verified data rather than a simple formula.

Economic perspectives highlight concerns regarding low GDP per capita, which remains below the European average. There is a perceived risk that overly stringent environmental requirements could stifle economic growth, particularly in rural areas, and there is support for finding an economic balance alongside environmental objectives.

It supports the state's obligation to pay compensation and costs to carriers arising from the court ruling, while emphasizing the necessity of establishing a regulatory framework. The economic perspective focuses on ensuring fair compensation within the transport sector and fulfilling the state's financial obligations.

Economic perspectives emphasize reducing regulations and speeding up administrative processes to support business and boost entrepreneurial sentiment. Streamlined bureaucracy is viewed as a positive catalyst that could help kickstart the economy.

Support is given to the ambitious economic growth target (doubling the economy), but at the same time, a pragmatic approach and clear recommendations for achieving the goal are demanded. The perspective is strongly growth-oriented and focuses heavily on feasibility.

Economic views are strongly pro-market, emphasizing the critical role of profit as the source for investment and improving the standard of living. The speaker opposes retroactive taxation, arguing that it generates uncertainty and sends a negative signal to investors. He supports the interests of businesses and advocates for a stable tax environment that fosters economic growth.
