The new Slovak government has finally produced its program which will guide the policies it will be implementing and laws it intends to get approved by parliament. There’s been concern that having taken power in the midst of a pandemic, the government would prove to be too distracted by the need to manage the emergency to put together its fundamental document. Among the main points was the government’s intention to promote the creation of a market for rental residential. While the document didn’t include any specific number of flats that should be built each year, it does call for the reconstruction of state-owned buildings to allow people to live in them. Funding for the program will be taken from all available sources including the State Fund for Housing Development. It will also support the multifamily investment sector, without explaining further how this will be done or what exactly it has in mind.
