Outlook for the Lagos Real Estate market in the second half of 2022

Is Real Estate a good hedge towards inflation in Africa’s real estate?

“The initial agreements we had with the World Bank was a 40-year loan, a 10-year moratorium and 0.5 per cent interest.

“But because of the delays that subsequently characterised the partisan interference that took place, our profile as a nation also changed we had become a bigger economy.Though money was being lent to us, not now as a highly indebted nation anymore.

“So by the time this one was approved now because of the delays, we had lost the opportunity of 40 years as it is now a loan of 25 years.

“The moratorium has reduced to five years instead of 10 years.

“The interest rate had gone up to 2.5 per cent, but what is still heart-warming about it is that it helps to finance infrastructure.

He also listed some of the projects that the loan would be spent on to include the 10-lane Lagos-Badagry Expressway and the inner roads in Apapa among others.

The initial arrangement was for the loan to be administered by parts of $200 million each year, starting from 2011 to 2013, according to Fashola who is the immediate past Governor of the state.
