Consistent with the objective of value creation and rationalization of the Group’s real estate portfolio, UniCredit Real Estate (URE) has finalized the contribution of a portfolio of real estate assets into a real estate investment fund managed by Fondi Immobiliari Italiani SGR S.p.A. (Fimit SGR) and the placement of 62% of the fund’s units to institutional investors. rnrnOf the remaining fund units, URE will keep a 33% stake, whilst an additional 5% is expected to be sold to institutional investors by the end of February 2009. rnrnThe real estate assets contributed into the fund comprise 72 commercial real estate properties (including the buildings of Piazza Cordusio and Livio Cambi in Milan and 70 banking branches of the Group) with an overall portfolio value of approximately Euro 800 million, 60% debt financed by a pool of banks. rnrnSale of the fund’s units to institutional investors will generate a capital gain, net of taxes, of around Euro 280 million in the fourth quarter 2008, with a positive impact of around 5 bps on UniCredits Core Tier 1 ratio. rnrnThe fund will have a 15 year term and will provide investors with stable profitability thanks to a long term rental agreement underwritten by the fund itself with URE. rnrnThe rental agreement will last 18 years with an option for a further 6 year extension, and is structured to provide UniCredit Group with the necessary flexibility required to manage its commercial banking network; additionally, UniCredit Group will have a right of first refusal providing the option to buy-back selected buildings deemed to be of strategic importance for the Group. rnrnFinancial advisors for the transaction are UniCredit Markets & Investment Banking acting for UniCredit Group and Leonardo & Co acting for Fimit SGR. Legal advisors are Studio Legale Chiomenti and Studio Legale Gianni Origoni Grippo & Partners acting for UniCredit Group, and Studio Legale Grimaldi e Associati acting for Fimit SGR, while the banks financing the fund were advised by Legance Studio Legale Associato.

Neutral interest rate in Romania

The neutral nominal rate in Romania has been falling since the start of inflation targeting in 2005. The Taylor Rule clearly shows that interest rates peaked in 2022 and have been on a clear downward path ever since.Furthermore, the model estimates a long-term neutral nominal rate of around 3.9%, which is the equivalent of approx. 1.4% real.Using a more sophisticated model (i.e. New York FED’S HLW model), the real neutral interest rate in Romania is estimated currently at around 1.5% (1.7% 2023 average) and the historical mean at 1.2%.This implies a neutral nominal rate between 4.00% and 4.50%. In the past decade, the NBR real effective rate was below the neutral rate and only over the past year climbed above the neutral mark.Source: Erste Bank
