Social improvements and investments

Another important aspect of the economic recovery is the sharp increase in the minimum wage, which has led to an improvement in the income situation of the poorer population. At the same time, construction spending on housing and other buildings fell sharply after the crisis, leading to a housing shortage and rising rents. These challenges must be addressed to ensure a sustainable economic recovery.
