Key highlights:-

According to Elstat the construction production index declined from 39.6 in 2012 to 38.0 in 2013. The total number of building permits declined from 1,428 in January 2013 to 917 in January 2014, a decline of - 35.3%. The declines in both private and public building activities represents the subdued growth in the construction activity over the forecast period.
- According to the Finance Ministry, a new real estate tax, introduced in 2013, is expected to generate EUR2.6 billion (US$3.4 billion) in 2014. The new tax, which has replaced a series of property taxes, is applicable from the first square meter on every apartment, office or store and will vary depending on the type and region of building. One of the earlier tax includes an exemption of EUR200,000.0 (US$265,151.2) for the first home buyer. The taxpayer will have to pay 25.0% more tax for the buildings less than or up to four years old, than for old buildings. Owners without any pending debts, or those with property less than 150.0m2, will be applicable for 50.0% tax exemption. Additional tax ranging from 0.1% to 1.0% will be applicable for the property, whose value exceeds EUR300,000.0 (US$397,726.7). The introduction of new tax is expected to negatively impact the growth of the construction industry over the forecast period....
