Economic perspectives are focused on fostering economic growth and stimulating consumption. The speaker argues that foregoing the income tax increase could be beneficial, as the money retained by individuals flows directly into consumption. He/She emphasizes the influence of the global economic environment on the Estonian economy.

Economic positions are tied to regulations: support is given to imposing new obligations (the construction of shelters) on large real estate developers to ensure security. The discussion also covers tax benefits (income tax relief) granted by the state to religious associations, questioning their continued legitimacy.

Strongly supports national defense spending (5% of GDP), while acknowledging that this requires effort and will affect current well-being. At the same time, the increase in the defense budget and the development of the defense industry (a defense fund, the construction of industrial parks) are viewed as an opportunity to help steer the Estonian economy toward a growth path. It supports making an exception for defense expenditures to the Maastricht criteria at the European Union level.
