The RAG Foundation: Financing the consequences of mining and real estate projects - an overview
Impact on the real estate market
The RAG Foundation's provision of funds for Signa Prime's real estate projects could have a significant impact on the real estate market. This could affect investor confidence in the real estate industry, as the RAG-Stiftung is actually obliged to finance the consequences of mining. Diverting funds to other projects could also lead to a deterioration in the foundation's financial situation, which could have long-term effects on the real estate market.
