Potrivit acestuia din urma, cifrele se bazeaza pe numarul total de solicitari pentru proprietati din Romania in ianuarie 2009 si care indica o crestere importanta fata de perioada similara din ianuarie 2008, conform Newsin.

Les Calvert sustine ca aceste concluzii vin si in urma unor rapoarte de cercetare recente si care indica stabilitatea Romaniei pe viitor in fata problemelor de la nivel global.

"Unul dintre cele mai recente rapoarte de cercetare ale noastre a constatat ca mai multe tari din Europa de Est s-au comportat mai bine in acest an decat majoritatea celor din Europa de Vest, cu economii importante. Acest raport recomanda investitii in prorpietati in Slovacia, in 2009, dar a mentionat si faptul ca Romania este la fel de aproape in ceea ce priveste preturile in timp ce unele costuri din Romania sunt mult mai putin costisitoare decat in Slovacia. Probabil, acest lucru a jucat un rol important in cresterea in popularitate a proprietatilor din Romania", a declarat Calvert.

The demand for fine art masterpieces in Romania grew in 2009, as cash-rich investors took a different stance toward art, and saw it as a long-term profit-making machine.

Representatives of Artmark fine art auction house told Wall-Street that the annual average return of Romanian fine art market over the past 15 years has been 27.04%, bigger than the return yielded by stocks, commodities or real estate. In the first nine months of 2009, the average return was 39.92% (year-on-year), which equals an annual increase in return, amid financial crisis, of 6.8%.
