Thanks for this, Oliver. The still-high construction costs and significant drop in achievable purchase price factors are really worrying, and the lack of transactions only adds to the market's uncertainty. The increasing volume of non-performing loans (NPLs) on institutional books and the heightened scrutiny from supervisory authorities further complicate the situation. As you rightly point out, the need for effective restructuring concepts and consistent workout strategies is critical. It's alarming that many financiers lack the necessary know-how, given the reduction in workout departments and the discontinuation of servicers. But it's a reality the market has to deal with. In this environment, collaboration with partners who can provide specialised knowledge and support is indispensable. The expertise in managing NPLs and devising comprehensive workout strategies will be key to dealing with the path ahead, and those who have it will benefit.
