BNP Paribas Real Estate report in cooperation with act legal

How did the first months of the pandemic affect developers’ timelines, investment plans and tenants’ expectations in four largest CEE countries? Were the investors operating in Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania rattled or shattered by the first two waves of the medical crisis? To what extent could the pandemic disrupt business strategies? Which sectors turned out to be most immune to COVID-19 and how did labor markets react to all of that?

These questions are addressed in BNP Paribas Real Estate’s report, “How R U CEE?” developed in cooperation with act legal, Hays, the French-Polish Chamber of Commerce, the Netherlands-Polish Chamber of Commerce and the Belgian Business Chamber.

The report provides an overview of the commercial real estate market, broken down into specific segments, from the perspective of developers and investors in the Central and Eastern Europe.

act legal professionals from Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania share their views on current trends in the CEE commercial property market and legal aspects of COVID-19’s impact, while also commenting on recent amendments to legal and tax regulations, which are relevant for investors.
