UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is sure that most problems that the country’s economy has recently faced appeared long ago.

At Conservative Party Conference, Boris Johnson said that the coronavirus merely showed that there are a lot of economic issues that had been accumulating for decades. The pandemic was revealing one problem after another.  The shortage of qualified personnel has existed for a long time. However, it came to the fore only during the quarantine. Moreover, the country’s authorities were well aware of troubles in the transport infrastructure and weak support for the private sector, but they preferred to ignore these issues until the virus outbreak. The same could be said about immigration problems. The pandemic has only proved that all difficulties should be solved in time.

The Prime Minister has emphasized that he will not go back on his promises, including bigger financial support to scientific projects and educational reforms. The UK authorities are said to contribute to the construction of new hospitals. Moreover, they have already developed a free retraining program for specialists in those areas where there is a particular shortage of them. The Green Industrial Revolution is also on the agenda.
