•(11) RomReal owns 2.50% of its own shares.
• 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.
