📃This is a unique situation when you are a panelist in the discussion about something that is currently happening. A few days ago, Ministry of Economic Development and Technology presented the assumptions for the Act on Polish REITs, and yesterday we could discuss them together with Maciej Żukowski (Ministry of Economic Development and Technology), Katarzyna Kopczewska (Baker McKenzie), Maciej Drozd (Echo Investment S.A.), Daniel Bienias (CBRE Poland) and Katarzyna Nosal (KPMG) 🤝 👏Bravo to the conference organizer Polska Izba Nieruchomości Komercyjnych for substantive preparation, interesting interlocutors and perfect timing! I believe that key factors for the success of REITs in Poland will be transparent law that is always beneficial for investors, as well as participation of both institutional and individual investors. Those factors determine the success of a specific IPO, but REITs specifically: 📈 need a good track record of distributing earnings to shareholders, and 📈 must prove potential for an increase in the value of the property. 🤔What entities could become the first REITs listed on Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW)? I am betting on companies with retail properties because this sector has sound foundations and steadily improves its performance after Covid. What would you bet on? #reit #sinn #giełda #capitalmarkets #realestate

Some colleagues reminded me that soon there will be 35th anniversary of the first privatisations in Poland. I looked at some old photos with Prof. Leszek Balcerowicz and Wiesław Rozłucki in the center. Former directors, managers, lawyers, senior and junior assistants – all in their mid-twenties on a mission impossible to push socialist state assets into private hands. However throughout years, with help of IPOs, LBOs and strategic disposals we managed to limit the straight political ownership to a handful of so called national champions. According to a recent analysis in the newspaper Puls Biznesu these champions stopped to create value already years ago. This is reflected in the lagging market cap of Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW) where the “champions” are dominating. I look forward to the new team at the Ministry of State Assets (former Treasury) working hard on reversing this trend and challenging the older teams. Kind regards to all on the this 15 year old photo: Slawomir S. Sikora, Pawel Ciecwierz, Paweł Wojciechowski, Wojciech Kostrzewa, Waldemar Kuczyński, Tomasz Gromek, Prof. Leszek Balcerowicz, Stefan Kawalec, Lejb Fogelman, Wiesław Rozłucki, Krzysztof Stupnicki, Jacek Socha, Jur Gruszczynski.    #Poland #PolishEconomy #IPO #LBO #StrategicDisposals #BusinessTransformation #EconomicHistory #CorporateGovernance
