Azarov demands returning housing construction to pre-crisis level

Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov has instructed the government to raise the country's housing construction to pre-crisis levels.

"I believe that construction can keep our economy afloat when exports of Ukrainian commodities are in difficulty. Therefore the task will be to return to the pre-crisis level of housing construction, which was over 10 million square meters a year," he said while opening the government's meeting on Wednesday.

The premier said he believed that some one thousand infrastructure facilities should either be constructed or modernized.
