De PvdA zet in op een verschuiving van investeringen. Van **harde investeringen** (wegen, grond, gebouwen) naar zachte investeringen via publiek private instellingen (onderzoek, IT-infrastructuur, netwerken, onderwijs), omdat de markt die 'harde' investeringen via publiek private samenwerking kan overnemen.

Explanation:
"Hard savings" komt ook redelijk vaak in het Nederlands voor. Het staat voor bekabeling, stroomvoorziening, netwerkinfrastructuur enz. tegenover "soft savings" dat staat voor productiviteit van werknemers en organisatie als geheel.
