2024-04-04 14:34:18

A survey showed, on Wednesday, that huge UAE investments and an expanded agreement with the International Monetary Fund “have not yet achieved significant benefit” for the non-oil private sector in Egypt in the month of March.

The Standard & Poor’s Global Purchasing Managers’ Index in Egypt rose to 47.6 in March from 47.1 in February, but remained below the 50.0 threshold that separates growth from contraction for the fortieth month in a row.

Electric Cars Dominate European Sales in 2023: Which Models Stood Out?

According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), more than 1.5 million new electric cars were registered in the European Union last year. This is 37% more than a year ago.

Statistics show that demand in this segment is constantly growing, and manufacturers are electrifying more and more of their models. Which of them stood out with something special in 2023?

Beats diesel engines

In 2023, the market share of new electric cars in EU countries has reached 14.6 percent – this is more than diesel cars, whose share has shrunk to 13.6 percent. After an aggressive price-cutting campaign, the Tesla Model Y compact crossover became the best-selling electric car. It sold 254,822 units last year, according to Dataforce. Thus, the American electric car manufacturer managed to convincingly beat the sales figures of internal combustion engine models: Dacia Sandero (235,893) and Volkswagen T-Roc (206,438) ranked behind Model Y.

Last year, the electric car segment was supplemented by new models in the European markets, and some were really intriguing. A number of them are expected to show high sales figures this year.

The European Car of the Year 2024 jury of 59 experts from 22 European countries nominated three fully electric vehicles for the final vote – BYD Seal, Kia EV9 and Volvo EX30, as well as the new Peugeot 3008, which has both electric and internal combustion versions. These contenders competed against the BMW 5 Series, Renault Scenic and Toyota C-HR, all powered by an internal combustion or hybrid powertrain.

Real estate prices hit new highs in 2024
2024-04-04 02:27:35

Brokers, analysts and banks estimate that a period of price stabilization is coming and that this year we will have a milder rise than the “explosion” of previous years. Nevertheless, the estimated 8-11% price increase comes on top of prices that are already near their all-time highs, especially in the big cities.

In 2024 he is coming to… build in a market where home sale prices have increased by 71.1% in Attica and by 53.8% nationwide from 2017 to 2023. In many cases sale prices in Attica are only 5.3 % lower than the historical highs of 2008. Experts emphasize that despite the rise in prices, there is still a surplus of demand in Attica, Thessaloniki and in all the tourist areas of the country.

Main factors that strengthen the demand are the interest from abroad for the “Golden Visa” and country houses, the increased demand of well-off Greek households for owner-occupied housing and the investment role that the residence has now acquired. With rents climbing from 43.2% to 52.1% in 2018-2023, property has become an even more profitable investment. On the contrary, the factors that weaken purchasing demand from the point of view of Greek households are inflation with the consequent rapid increase in prices as well as the increase in housing interest rates. Last year was a year of low… flights for housing credit, although the managements of the systemic banks expect an improvement in the two years 2024-2025.

Comparison of 2017 and 2024

Today’s high property market prices are a huge distance from those of 2017 and the first quarter of the year confirms that 2024 is here to grow it.

In popular areas of Attica, prices are already more than double. In Ampelokipi, the price for a property over 5 years old is around 2,283 euros/sq.m., while in 2017 it was only 725 euros/sq.m., an increase of 214.9%. Similar extreme differences are also seen in Exarchia, where prices hover around 2,090 euros/sq.m., starting from 675 euros in 2017 (an increase of 209.63%).

In the large population centers of the country, prices have risen more than in the rest of the territory and especially in areas of high demand, such as these examples. According to experts, although price increases will continue, areas with previous years’ record sales are more saturated and will be among the first to see signs of price leveling off. Not a drop, but a smaller rise.
