Examining its performance during its first 100 days in office at a cabinet meeting on Thursday, the government focused on its four priorities: increasing Estonia's population numbers, increasing society's welfare and cohesion, bringing the country out of economic stagnation as well as maintaining and increasing Estonia's security.

"The government's 100 days have been very full of activity and we have had to prove ourselves a lot right from the start," said Prime Minister Jüri Ratas, chairman of the Center Party. "I am glad to be able to say that the government has had the face of all of its members and we have been able to put our good ideas to the service of the Estonian state and people. I sincerely thank all members of the Riigikogu who placed their trust in our government and who are keeping a close eye on our work. I am also acknowledging the ministers for a conducive work atmosphere that seeks common ground. Of course, we are also pleased with the people's continued trust, which will make us put even more effort in the coming months and years toward making Estonia more united and successful."

Of the 88 tasks that the government listed in its plan for its first 100 dys in office, 70 have been fulfilled and seven partially fulfilled, while the fulfillment of another 11 has been delayed.

Among the most notable of these, the government highlighted increasing the large-family benefit to €300 per month, making the parental leave and benefits system more flexible, adopting a decision on the reconstruction of Tallinn's Linnahall as well as implementing pension reform and income tax reform aimed at improving the standard of living of low-income earners.

The government has also agreed upon the principles of a national defense investment program, continued preparations for the arrival of a NATO battalion-sized contingent in April, discussed proposals for beefing up Estonia's foreign service as well as endorsed the initial priorities of the Estonian presidency of the EU, which will run from July through December of this year.

In addition to the 100-day plan, the government also endorsed in December 2016 its action program for 2016-2019, outlining specific activities for carrying out the goals of the government coalition during the next two years.

Ratas' government consists of the Center Party, the Social Democratic Party (SDE) and the Pro Patria and Res Publica Union (IRL). The government will complete its 100th day in office on Friday.
