ah, that. yes, that was based. in short, scandinavian banks here dominate. and after russia invaded in ukraine, some of scandinavian buisneses are withdrawing. and banks are hesitant to give loans. which slows down development on economy. so government created "solidarity tax" on banks for 3 years. as banks have record high earnings, because of increased interest rate (european central bank had it around 4% or smth). and taxed income are planned to be invested in defense (likely, in some bunkers along latvia-russia border). banks are super pissed about it.
