The data presented by the National Statistics Institute on Tuesday confirms the upward trend of the residential market in Bucharest where many construction sites reopened in the past year. On the other hand, housing construction remains flat in the rest of the country due to the negative population growth and to an economy that is growing only in some places.
Almost 3,500 houses and apartments were completed in the first half in Bucharest-Ilfov, with more than 8,000 homes expected to be delivered for the entire year, close to the high of the past decade recorded in 2008.
