Sudinfo: Walloon Government's Economic Health under Scrutiny
Sudinfo highlights the urgent economic concerns voiced by Pierre-Yves Jeholet, the Walloon Minister of Economy, Employment, and Training, ahead of the Fêtes de Wallonie this Saturday, September 14. During the announcement, Jeholet emphasized that economic indicators are unfavorable, citing a mere 66.2% employment rate in Wallonia and stressing the lack of impact from public investments.
As Wallonia grapples with how to fund recent initiatives amidst budgetary uncertainties, Jeholet stated, 'The Walloon state has become obese and needs a very strong weight loss cure.' Highlighting the duplicated efforts with the Forem and various public projects, the Minister pointed out the necessity for restructuring aid to address clear deficiencies in public sector employment and training.
Jeholet also asserted that the current government desires to reshape Wallonia's image, aiming for a region that promotes work and innovation, thereby insisting on a new, revitalized approach to employment initiatives and economic development.
