If property management does not work, it will be expensive: IVD Nord warns of structural risks for owners

IVD Nord warns of structural risks for owners because many property management companies are overburdened by growing regulation, bureaucracy, a shortage of skilled workers and the pressure to modernize. The bottlenecks lead to delayed decisions, higher costs, renovation backlogs and losses in value and also affect tenants; the association is therefore calling for better political and economic framework conditions as well as realistic remuneration for administrator services.

Philippines renewable capacity to reach 30GW by 2035, forecasts GlobalData

GlobalData predicts that the Philippines’ cumulative renewable capacity will increase to around 30 GW by 2035 – from about 7.1 GW in 2025. The main drivers are solar PV (approx. 18.7 GW) and wind (approx. 7.4 GW), supported by auctions such as the Green Energy Auction Program and investment-friendly reforms. Despite the expansion, coal and natural gas remain dominant for the base load; in addition, nuclear power (approx. 0.3 GW by 2035) is planned for the first time.
