Romanian macro development

  • Slowing GDP growth (Q2) compared to last year. The Government still hold its GDP goal of 2.8 per cent growth as realistic which is a high growth rate compared to other European countries. Romania has room to boost state spending as the public debt is only 38 per cent of GDP. Inflation is still no concern at around 1% p.a.
  • The Government has announced the intention to adopt the euro as of 01 January 2019. The new target should be achievable provided inflation remains controlled and the Government remains committed to low fiscal deficits and moderate levels of public debt.

Romania Real Estate Update

  • Real estate transaction activity continued to improve. Transactions for EUR 402.4 million in 1H 2014 – a 222% increase compared to 1H 2013.
  • International and local firms more active in the market
  • The residential market is fuelled by the "Prima casa" program which drives demand for smaller units.
  • Residential building permits increased in Q2 with 2.6% from 10,548 to 10,820 units
  • For plots, demand centred around smaller plots

Apartment Prices Development

  • Apartment prices appear to be leveling off.
  • On a National level, prices decreased 2.3% p.a. in 2Q 2014.
  • Constanta prices decreased 0.7% p.a. in 2Q 2014.

Main focus areas going forward

  • The Management is proactively seeking to sell further properties and it expects further disposals.
  • To make the plots sellable, the Company is seeking to add incremental value to the individual plots during the period in which they are part of the Land Bank up until a potential sale is completed. The various forms of adding value include upgrading of planning permission as well as maintenance of plot surfaces, buildings, fencing and similar.
  • Management will also attempt to create income from the plots in its Land Bank by renting out to third parties for commercial use, structured in a way so it does not prevent or interfere with an eventual sale of the plots.
  • Actively communicate with existing and new owners of the Company.
