In total, 40-45 countries were represented there. Meetings were important both in content and in form to show that in a world where more and more arbitrariness, the rules are still respected.

Estonia thanked that we strongly support Ukraine. We decided to increase Ukraine by 25%, for this we asked to thank the inhabitants of Estonia.

Macron was recently visited by Washington and told us about the negotiations, which was discussed there. Not with all the US statements, we agree, but there are a lot of in common. We will continue discussions with the United States of the most important topics. «

It is necessary to continue the construction of wind farms. The construction of terrestrial wind farms continues, despite the resistance of Ekreike (as the prime minister generalizedly called the opposition represented by the ISAMAA, EKRE and the Center Party – editing). From the Minister of Climate I would also like to get a special layout for the nuclear power plant. « 

After a review of the government’s economic decisions at the last meeting, the Prime Minister noted that in the annual calculus the economy of the sector of accommodation increased by 7.6%, and the public catering area by 5.6%

The Minister of Finance continued the press conference Jurgen League.

He began with a state of the budget: “Nothing extraordinary happened, although there is a lot of misinformation. The current forecast remains in force, the new one will appear in early April.

The leagues explained that under misinformation, he has in mind the publication of the Postimees newspaper based on Bigbank data.

“It is said that tax growth in any case reduces the economy. This is not always right. Sometimes yes, sometimes not. « 

“I was also upset by the news that the budget was not reduced, but in fact it grew up. Everyone has fun, everything will be dentist. This is offensive to people who feel reductions in the public sector on their own skin. There is an obligation to reduce, it was done. Therefore, the budget has not increased. The salary fund is reduced. If salaries are growing in the public sector, then this is the dominant role of healthcare. Bigbank is constantly mistaken here, ”the league explained.

“From Bigbank does not receive adequate information. Dear Postimees and Kuku (radio station – ed.), If you cannot do a fact, let me do it to others. « 

Further, the participants in the press conference went on to questions.

DELFI question: Trump announced plans to increase tariffs for goods from the EU by 25%. How realistic is it that this will be done and how will this affect our economy?

Kristen Michal: “Trump can implement his plans. We asked Estonia to analyze what this influence could be. According to preliminary estimates, for Estonia it will be a small economic influence. For Europe, this would mean a loss of about half of GDP. Europe is certainly ready for this and is considering retaliatory steps. First of all, this will probably affect larger economies, for example, the German automobile industry.

It will reach us indirectly, through Scandinavia. Today no one can definitely evaluate this influence. Obviously, this influence will not be very large. « 

Jurgen League: “What Trump will actually do is not calculated. Tariffs are a matter that in any case does harm to the economy. The tariffs are reasonable when it comes to dumping. In Europe, there is no such practice. It’s worth worrying. «
