România, campioană în Uniunea Europeană la scumpirea procentuală a chiriilor la locuințe. Locul 2, Croația • Newsweek România

Romania has the highest percentage increase in rental prices in the EU, with a rise of 43.5%, followed by Croatia at 40.1%. This surge significantly exceeds the general inflation rates of 9.5% in Romania and 4.8% in Croatia. The increase in rents is attributed to various factors, including the management of public housing, although experts question the impact of public rentals on overall trends. In contrast, Turkey leads in Europe with a 49.6% increase in rental prices, but its inflation rate is also high, resulting in a lower real increase compared to Romania and Croatia. Other countries like Serbia and Bulgaria also experienced notable rent increases.
