The Central Bank of Montenegro notes the growth of foreign investment in real estate
The Central Bank notes the growing trend of investment in real estate. Namely, according to currently available data, foreigners paid as much as 245,73 million euros for them by the end of November 2021 - this is the highest amount on an annualized basis since the previous economic crisis in 2008, caused by rising property prices in the world. For many years, Russia topped the list of countries from which the largest number of FDI arrived. During the said 11 months of 2021, their citizens and companies invested 129,54 million euros. This means that citizens of the Russian Federation invest an average of about 11,78 million euros per month. Of these, the largest amount - 49,46 million euros - falls on the property they bought in Montenegro. Serbia ranks second on the list, and the investments of their citizens during the same period reached almost 72 million euros. Here, too, real estate purchases in Montenegro account for a large share, for which 33,16 million were allocated. Malta ranks third among investors with 70,37 million euros, but this investment is almost entirely made up of corporate debt.
