Main focus areas going forward

  • RomReal is, according to the strategy, focusing on land value enhancing activities in order to improve on a case by case basis value and exit opportunities.
  • This includes, among others, increased sales & marketing efforts, some infra-structure investments, and engaging more resources into regulation processes.
  • The ongoing tax dispute adds uncertainty and reduces the financial flexibility.
  • The Company is involved in several on-going conditional sales processes as well as in specific and serious interest in the projects which are still in the regulatory process and not actively marketed.
