  • The situation on the ground in Romania is stable and normal. The shipments from the harbour of Constanta is extraordinary high, due to farming products from Ukraine as well as the regular harvest season in Romania. Even though the economy has held up well hitherto post covid, the budget fiscal deficit and the increasing inflation is a growing challenge.

Main focus areas going forward

  • Even though, the Romanian first half 2022 GDP flash growth numbers was strong, the Board expects a slower growth ahead combined with an increasing inflation and weakening Government finances.
  • In order to speed up an exit and target a higher profitability on the attractive located Oasis project, the Board of Directors have decided to provide the financial resources to complete the two apartment structures and upgrade the four houses on the property. This in addition to the infrastructure required on the Oasis project.
  • Even though a sale of only one small plot in second quarter is not satisfactory, the overall marketing and sales activities are steady, and a higher volume is hopefully to materialise during second half.
  • An improved but uncertain sales progress combined with vendor financing, further infrastructure investments to improve marketability, indicate a complete sale of the entire portfolio could easily drag out for another 2-3 years.
