The Centraal Planbureau (CPB) highlights that the new housing subsidies in the Netherlands, amounting to 5 billion euros, are likely to benefit landowners more than homebuyers. With rising housing prices expected, the CPB suggests that these subsidies should be reallocated to ensure they effectively support affordable housing development. The report also emphasizes the importance of adjusting land policy to prevent financial benefits from going to landowners instead of addressing the housing shortage directly.
