In 2018, we had a consistent activity volume, as we extended our client portfolio, collaborating with most of the shopping centres, logistics and modern office buildings owners. For 2019, we aim to consolidate our market position and to continue the growth of the valuation volume2, towards €5 billion. Moreover, we will focus on developing our team and improving the quality of our activity.
