Half-Brick McCurdy @halfbrickmccurdy.bsky.social · 15/10/2025And apologies, if being pedantic, but where you say "A preferential mortgage program, for example, created a bubble in the construction industry and is still costing the budget trillions despite having ended" see attachedHalf-Brick McCurdy@halfbrickmccurdy.bsky.social1/7 Rumours of the subsidised Russian mortgage’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.

DiviDivi_LV 🇱🇻 🇺🇦 @dividivi-lv.bsky.social · 15/10/2025Great article! Just one detail that i would like to add - REPO loans arent really money printing. When REPO loans are repaid, that money is destroyed, so by the end of loan term no new money has been created. 140

Jan Stropek @honzastropek.bsky.social · 15/10/2025I can't find the graph now, but they already started cutting budget expenditures. I think it started massively in September. So the questions are not if or when but how much and which category. And from other sources is clear, that even some investments into mil.-industr. complex are already cut. 140
