Paulo Macedo says that the housing problem "will take years" to solve and it is not with one or two measures.

Paulo Macedo, CEO of CGD, stated that the housing issue in Portugal will take years to resolve, emphasizing that it requires more than just a couple of measures. He advocates for increasing housing supply through various strategies, including affordable rents and public housing. Macedo noted that the rising house prices are above normal and will likely remain high due to a significant demand from a growing population. He highlighted the need for a more dynamic rental market and selective fiscal incentives to support both supply and demand. Additionally, he supports housing initiatives for mobile workers and acknowledges the importance of assistance for young people.
