The Netherlands will postpone key construction targets because of severe staff shortages, EIB director Taco van Hoek said on Thursday. Worker shortages can slow building projects that affect housing availability and infrastructure.
Slower construction affects housing supply and infrastructure projects that shape rents, prices, and daily travel. Delays at the national level can filter down to timelines for homes, roads, and transit people rely on.
Watch EIB and Dutch government updates for the revised construction target timeline.
