About Globalworth:
Globalworth Real Estate Investments Limited is a real estate investment company founded by real estate investor and developer Ioannis Papalekas currently focused on taking advantage of investment opportunities in Romania. The Company's shares were admitted to trading on AIM in July 2013.
The Romanian market offers an attractive real estate investment proposition in the medium-to-long term. Globalworth believes that global investor capital flows will gradually move from markets considered as "safe havens" to more peripheral markets such as Romania in search of higher yielding investments. As a result, Romania should, in due course, become a more attractive destination for a wide investor audience. Globalworth anticipates holding an early mover advantage in and benefitting from this gradual shift in investor sentiment.
