How Housing Became a Bottleneck | World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026

Описание: Every $1 invested in housing generates $2-$3 in GDP impact through construction, jobs and services. Tight housing markets, in contrast, act as a hidden tax on prosperity, driving workers from high-value regions, stifling family formation and inflaming social tensions.

Speakers: Jonathan Reckford, Dragoș Pîslaru, Mark Edward Rose, Lars Petersson, Stefanie Stantcheva
