Main focus areas going forward

  • Even though, the Romanian first quarter 2022 GDP flash growth numbers was the highest in the EU, the Board expects a slower growth ahead. This has hitherto not affected the residential market, but RomReal's land bank and project development activities are under constant review. With no external debt and very limited building activity, on-going and planned infrastructure investments to improve marketability could be paused very quickly, if deemed necessary.
  • 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.
  • 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.
