Subventions for introducing renewable solutions into buildings

Admin

Many of you might have heard the news lately – the projects for replacement or completing existing heating systems with renewable solutions (that use solar, wind and geothermal energy) could receive 90% financing from the state. I was very excited at the beginning thinking that finally the Romanian government started to think big and that in this way they are really supporting the market.

Admin

Companiile de dezvoltare imobiliara, in special cele din Israel, continua sa inceapa noi proiecte de ansambluri rezidentiale in Capitala, desi ritmul vanzarilor de locuinte a fost scazut in acest an. Astfel, de la inceputul lunii septembrie, au fost anuntate cinci noi ansambluri rezidentiale in Bucuresti, care totalizeaza aproape 8.500 de locuinte, dezvoltatorii mizand pe „trezirea” cererii de locuinte, aflate in prezent in expectativa. Cel mai mare proiect anuntat este al companiei israeliene Dimri International, care a inceput in vara acestui an lucrarile de constructie la primul ansamblu rezidential de pe piata locala – Dimri Ghencea, care prevede constructia a 3.500 … Continue reading Toamna a adus proiecte cu 8.500 de locuinte noi in Capitala

Furnizorii de monede sau lingouri de aur sunt pusi in dificultate, neputand onora cererea generala, scrie Der Spiegel. Robert Hartman, CEO al furnizorului german Pro Aurum, afirma ca situatia este destul de grava, avand in vedere cererea crescuta atat din partea clientilor traditionali ai companiei – bancile -, cat si din partea clientilor individuali. Incepand cu momentul prabusirii bancii americane de investitii Lehman Brothers, criza financiara globala s-a accentuat, iar piata aurului a devenit foarte atractiva pentru deponentii … Continue reading Investitorii se refugiaza pe piata aurului
