15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
Economic views are strongly opposed to tax hikes, especially given the current economic crisis. They advocate balancing the state budget through alternative measures, such as taxing banks' excess profits and suppressing home loan interest rates to boost consumer spending. The import of cheap labor is viewed as a factor that hinders economic innovation and causes a drop in productivity.

The economic outlook is worrying, focusing on the decline in competitiveness and labor productivity observed since 2021. There is a perceived need for a political diagnosis to address the economic downturn, which is attributed to misguided economic policy decisions. Concern is also being raised regarding the situation involving 50,000 unemployed individuals.
