North Korea is experiencing an economic revival, financed by its support for Moscow in the Russia-Ukraine war. The country is earning between $7.7 billion and $14.4 billion from arms sales and troop deployments.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had promised to build 50,000 new homes in the capital and has quickly put this promise into action. For example, in the newly established Hwasong district, two 40-story apartment blocks, reminiscent of North Korea's Hwasong intercontinental ballistic missiles, have been built.
The regime has also opened the country's largest hospital in Pyongyang and a massive greenhouse, the size of New York's Central Park. In June 2025, Kim officially opened the 5-kilometer Wonsan-Kalma beach resort on the east coast, which can accommodate 20,000 guests.
