Strengthening Latvia’s Housing Affordability Fund (June 2023)

In response to persistent housing quality and affordability challenges, the Latvian government recently established the Housing Affordability Fund, a long-term self-sustaining financing model to channel investment into affordable housing. This report summarises the main findings from a project to support Latvia in identifying the institutional arrangements, funding and financing opportunities, and operational tools to scale up the Fund and ensure its lasting impact on the housing market. The report draws on the rich and diverse experiences of four peer countries in establishing and operating revolving fund schemes for affordable housing (Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands and Slovenia), as well as engagement with a range of stakeholders in the Latvian housing market. This project was carried out by the OECD, in the framework of the Technical Support Instrument of the European Union, in collaboration with the Directorate General for Structural Reform Support of the European Commission and the Latvian Ministry of Economics.

This work is a joint effort of the OECD Economics Department and the Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs.

Étude économique de la Lettonie (mars 2022)

Le rattrapage par la Lettonie des pays les plus prospères de l’OCDE en termes de revenu par habitant s’est poursuivi pendant la pandémie, malgré la progression lente de la vaccination. Les autorités ont utilisé la politique budgétaire pour faire face aux difficultés du système de santé tout en protégeant les emplois et les entreprises, mais elle pourrait être exploitée davantage pour faire reculer les inégalités et la pauvreté, en particulier parmi les personnes âgées. La population de la Lettonie diminue depuis des décennies et cette tendance va se poursuivre. Cela signifie que les pouvoirs publics doivent s’attacher à rehausser le taux d’emploi des personnes d’âge actif. Pour ce faire, il faudra s’attaquer à l’ample écart de rémunération entre hommes et femmes qui dissuade ces dernières de travailler, repousser l’âge de la retraite et maintenir l’ensemble de la population en bonne santé.

Policy actions for affordable housing in Latvia (June 2020)

Housing affordability and quality are pressing challenges in Latvia. While Latvian households spend, on average, less on housing than their OECD peers, many are stuck in poor quality housing. Residential investment has stagnated since 2008, and the housing stock has been insufficiently maintained. In the face of these challenges, public support for housing is limited and an underdeveloped rental market further limits affordable housing alternatives. This report provides an in-depth assessment of housing affordability challenges and identifies policy actions to address them. The report is the result of the work of an interdisciplinary team bringing together the Economics Department and the Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs. The report contributes to the cross-cutting OECD Horizontal Project on Housing.
