By Plenary Sessions: Toomas Uibo

The political focus is on responsible public finances and deficit reduction, with the aim of putting Estonia on firmer ground and slowing the growth of national debt. This stance is strongly policy-driven, emphasizing conscious choices and smart investments in education, innovation, and the digital state. The speaker (Eesti 200) positions themselves as the builder of a responsible and people-centered state, one who does not build castles in the air, but a strong foundation.

The speaker highlights the state budget deficit and national debt as clear problems in public finance. The political focus is on assessing the government’s performance, asking how they intend to balance the necessity of stimulating the economy with fiscal discipline and debt reduction. This constitutes a performance-driven framing of the issue.
