• Romania has an open economy with a widening budget deficit and should be mindful of the uncertain global backdrop. Late 2024 is a mayor election year in Romania and that is creating some extra political turbulence. The Romanian National Bank has cut the "policy rate" twice and last time on 7 August to 6.5%. This is helpful for the mortgage market, and the commercial banks have started to cut their lending rates accordingly and this should be helpful for the residential market in particular. Even with such a scenario in horizon, RomReal will continue its careful approach including cost focus, modest risks, and no cash return to its shareholders yet.
