The Ministry's latest attempt to increase housing accessibility has been met with skepticism by the industry's experts. It comes as major developers are reporting higher revenues and apartment demand remains stubbornly high. Saulius Skvernelis has been permitted to remove his ankle monitor after his bail was paid. Elsewhere, 216 new cameras will be installed to catch road toll violators, just as new Stadler trains finally begin service later this month. The economy is currently a study in contrasts. A legendary factory has declared bankruptcy, sending layoff notices to its entire workforce. Meanwhile, an Israeli firm is set to invest €60 million in a private energy storage park, and local investment in innovative medicines is now yielding the highest returns in Europe.
