As expected the recovery in the services sector after the lockdowns is giving the economy support. But real estate and local government spending will continue to drag on growth going forward.
Real estate should never be permitted to maintain a first tier role in the economy. Allowing them to do so results in a land baron economy, dominated by parasites. Industrialists/technologists should be supported as the first tier players. Real estate should be a supporting role only. Real estate speculation should be outright suppressed. Homes should be purely for living in, not for financial speculation.

Ukraine flag is blue on top, yellow on bottom.
This painting is yellow on top, blue on bottom.
An inverted cross is anti-Christ.
This painter is anti-Ukraine, and he just earned 46.5 million USD for doing Russian propaganda.
Or maybe the staffers accidentally held the painting upside down? :D

Talking about debts without discussing about assets is the problem for these kinds of articles
I disagree. I heard the same arguments when people warned about Sweden's private debt bubble (especially household debt). But you don't understand, they told you, the households have even greater net assets! Well, now that interest rates are rising the households are shrinking their consumption because debt service is an issue. Even if most of this private debt is held in your own currency, there are still going to be creditors and they have to be paid.
