  • Net Result for the quarter was a loss of EUR 259,000, compared to a gain of EUR 231,000 in 1Q 2024. Net change in cash flow for the quarter was a positive EUR 25,000 compared to positive of EUR 427,000 in the same period last year.

Macro and real estate market highlights

  • The National Bank of Romania policymakers decided to keep the key rate at 6.50% on 16 May. The NBR's decision took into account inflationary pressures, political risk and the ongoing fiscal policy uncertainty.

  • The protracted electoral period and the rising political tensions reversed capital flows on the local financial market. Lately, capital outflows have increased significantly, in various forms. These shifts have had some impact on liquidity and on money market rates, as well as on the demand-and-supply ratio in the forex market, Romania's foreign exchange reserves and the leu's exchange rate.
  • Romania's GDP expanded by 0.2 percent in 1Q.25 versus 0.5 percent in 4Q 2024.

Romanian Macro development

  • The National Bank of Romania policymakers decided to keep the key rate at 6.50% on 16 May. The NBR's decision took into account inflationary pressures, political risk and the ongoing fiscal policy uncertainty.
  • The annual inflation rate was for practical purposes unchanged from March 2025 4.86 percent compared to 4.85 ultimo April this year. The National Bank increased its inflation forecast to 4.6 percent for 2025 and 3.4 percent in 2026.
  • Romania's GDP expanded by 0.2 percent in 1q.25 versus 0.5 percent in 4q 2024. Romania's economic output is projected to rise by 1.6% in 2025, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development said in its May 2025 Regional Economic Prospects report. This reduced growth prognosis is in line with most peer countries due to rising global protection and higher political uncertainty etc.
  • The European Union's finance ministers have welcomed and approved Romania's move to reduce its fiscal deficit below 3% of national output by 2030. Authorities in Bucharest hope the plan will ease investor concerns about the country's economic outlook and steady bond yields that have been rising. Romania has been subject to the EU's excessive deficit procedure since 2020, which requires it to submit a multi-year plan showing the European Commission how it intends to reduce its deficit and comply with the bloc's ceiling of 3% of gross domestic product (GDP).
  • Fiscal consolidation will ensure that Romania continues to receive the billions of EU recovery and development euros (70 billion-plus by 2027) vital to underpinning the country's infrastructure investment and ensuring its economic growth.
  • The centrist Nicusor Dan was elected as the new Romanian president (pro EU and NATO) with 54% of the votes in a record-high turnout. Mr Dan was sworn in by the Parliament 26 May 2025.

Apartment Price Development (End March 25)

• Asking prices for apartments and houses in Romania increased in the First quarter of 2025 compared to Fourth quarter of 2024 (EUR 1,710/m2) to EUR 1,818/m2 at the end of 1Q 2025 and EUR 1,842/m2 at the end of April 2025.

  • In Constanta, average prices increased by 3.85% during the First quarter of 2025 (EUR 1,834/m2 at the end of March 2025 compared to EUR 1,766/m2 at the end of December 2024), according to www.imobiliare.ro index.

Outlook

• The Parliament sworn in the newly elected President Mr. Nicusor Dan on Monday 26 May. The president election should reduce the political volatility, but the parliamentary stability of the coalition Government is still a questionmark. The National Bank of Romania decided to keep the key rate at 6.50% and ruled out any key rate reduction in first half this year. With such near-term outlook, RomReal will continue its careful cost focus, modest risks, and no cash return to its shareholders in 2025. Even though the plot 11,500 m2 sale at prices well above IFRS valuation on the Industrial Park was a positive indicator, the Board would hope improved consumer confidence and a gradual key rate/inflation reduction will materialise ahead. This should result in an uptick in the demand for residential housing.
