Rising Interest Rates Pull the Plug on the Construction Industry

Abstract

The environment for investment in housing construction has changed drastically. Rising interest rates and construction costs are leading to a significant decline in investment activity. This will exacerbate the shortage on the housing market, as refugees from Ukraine also require housing on a significant scale. Clever solutions are needed to allow additional housing construction under the new conditions.
