Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on March 29, 1953)

Happy birthday, Tõnis Palts! May your investments multiply quicker than political promises, and may your budgets balance smoother than Estonia sailing into the EU back in 2003. Your term as Minister of Finance is still remembered fondly—it was indeed a financial performance worthy of applause.

Here's to the man whose dedication kept Estonia's economy smiling wider than your critics. Whether budgeting for a nation or blowing out birthday candles—your careful planning always pays off! We raise a toast to you today: may every number be in your favor, and every accounting ledger bring laughter alongside prosperity. Cheers!
