According to its annual report, agricultural holding IMC posted $67.5 million in net profit for 2025, allowing the company not only to improve on its 2024 result ($54.6 million) but also to effectively return to pre-war profitability levels.
According to the published trends in key KPIs, following a record-breaking 2021, when profit reached $75.9 million, the holding went through a period of significant decline: in 2022, a loss of $1.1 million was recorded, which deepened to $21.0 million in 2023.
The company’s consolidated revenue in 2025 amounted to $190.5 million, which is 4.8% higher than the pre-war 2021 figure ($181.7 million), although it is slightly lower than the 2024 result ($211.3 million). EBITDA reached $95.8 million in the reporting period, indicating a recovery in operating efficiency following a critical drop to $3.2 million in 2023.
The report pays particular attention to deleveraging: the holding’s total debt at the end of 2025 fell to $17.9 million, the lowest level in the past five years (in 2021 – $32.8 million, peak in 2023 – $45.7 million). The net debt-to-EBITDA ratio remains consistently negative (-0.3), while the current ratio has risen to a record 4.6.
“The group’s further development in 2026 will depend on the course of the war, but for now we are focusing on improving business efficiency by implementing the results of our own R&D department and adhering to the “IMC SMART GREEN” strategy, which involves decarbonization and investments in the acquisition of agricultural land in Ukraine,” the holding’s report states.
According to the document, in 2026, IMC plans to focus on growing three crops: corn (58% of planted area), sunflowers (23%), and wheat (19%). The company also aims to further reduce its debt burden to $10.7 million by the end of this year. In export logistics, shipments via seaports will remain a priority while maintaining a stable share of rail transport.
IMK specializes in growing grains, oilseeds, and milk production. The company cultivates approximately 120,000 hectares of land in the Poltava, Chernihiv, and Sumy regions. Currently, the agricultural holding ranks among Ukraine’s most efficient agricultural producers in terms of yield and profitability per hectare.
The IMK integrated group of companies operates in the Sumy, Poltava, and Chernihiv regions. The holding’s priority areas of activity are crop production (growing corn, wheat, and sunflowers) and grain storage. The group’s land bank is divided into five clusters and totals 115,000 hectares. IMC’s grain storage capacity is 554,000 tons. The holding company has its own fleet of trucks, grain railcars, and high-performance agricultural machinery. The group’s shares have been listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange since May 2011. The company is ranked among the TOP 100 largest landowners in Ukraine.
According to Serbian Economist, the Chinese industrial group TBEA is considering Serbia as a potential location for establishing transformer production facilities geared toward exporting to the European market. Negotiations between Serbian authorities and the company’s management in Tianjin have moved beyond preliminary discussions and shifted to more concrete talks regarding an industrial project.
The possibility of opening a manufacturing facility in Serbia is being discussed, one that will focus not only on equipment assembly but also on deeper localization—including technology transfer, the development of a local supply chain, and workforce integration.
TBEA’s interest in Serbia is driven by several factors. First, the country offers proximity to EU markets without the full cost burden characteristic of the European Union itself. Second, growing logistics links and a free trade agreement with China make Serbia a convenient platform for both the supply of components and the export of finished products.
The overall situation in Europe adds particular significance to the project. Demand for transformers and grid equipment is growing amid the integration of renewable energy, electrification, and the modernization of transmission networks, while a shortage of production capacity is already becoming one of the constraints on infrastructure programs. Against this backdrop, the potential establishment of a new plant in Serbia could partially relieve pressure on European supply chains.
For Serbia, such a project would mean not just an influx of investment, but deeper integration into the European energy industry.
TBEA is one of China’s largest industrial groups in the field of high-voltage equipment, transformers, and energy infrastructure. The company operates in the power transmission and distribution, power machinery, solar energy, and industrial equipment segments and is one of the key providers of solutions for large-scale grid and energy projects in China and beyond.

According to Serbian Economist, the housing market in neighboring Romania continues to see price growth at the start of 2026, although the pace now appears more moderate than during the post-pandemic surge. According to Eurostat, the annual growth in housing prices in Romania at the end of 2025 was about 6.7%, which was higher than the EU average.
Bucharest remains the main market hub, but high prices persist in the largest regional cities as well. According to Romania Insider, in February 2026, two districts in the capital had already surpassed Cluj-Napoca in terms of price per square meter, while Cluj itself remained at approximately €3,300 per square meter. For Bucharest, research and market surveys indicate a city benchmark of €2,236 per square meter in February 2026.
In terms of transactions, the start of 2026 was uneven. In January, 24,598 real estate transactions were registered nationwide, which was below the level of January 2025, and apartment transactions fell by 25% nationwide and by 22% in Bucharest, according to Storia’s analysis based on ANCPI data. By February, the market had already picked up noticeably: the number of transactions rose to 44,427, and Bucharest once again became the country’s largest housing market.
The key trend at the start of 2026 is that the market remains active, but buyers have become more cautious. In its 2026 review, CBRE notes that Romanian buyers dominated the transaction mix at the end of 2025 and accounted for about 31% of the total investment volume for the year, while broader market reviews describe demand as “cautiously positive”: buyers remain active but are taking longer to make decisions and are focused on properly valued properties in good locations.
From a pricing perspective, the market can no longer be called cheap, even by regional standards. Colliers noted at the end of 2025 that prices in Romania’s largest cities had risen by 60–90% over six years, and in Cluj by approximately 100%, while in Bucharest the number of building permits had fallen by 45% over three years, further limiting supply.
Another important consideration for buyers and investors is that the Romanian market is becoming more demanding regarding transaction structures and financing. According to Legal 500, the sector is entering a more “disciplined” phase in 2026, where decisions are more strongly influenced by borrowing costs, the regulatory environment, and the quality of documentation. The OECD also expects only a moderate acceleration in economic growth for Romania in 2026 following a weak 2025, which means the housing market will increasingly depend on household incomes and mortgage availability, rather than just on the momentum of growth.
As for foreigners, no recent official statistics specifically regarding homebuyers by nationality at the beginning of 2026 could be found in open sources. Therefore, it is more accurate to distinguish between the market presence of foreigners and the market of foreign buyers. According to OECD data, in 2024, 52,000 new immigrants in Romania received residence permits valid for more than 12 months, and the largest groups of immigrants in the country in 2024–2025 were linked to Ukraine, Italy, Spain, Moldova, and Turkey. This is not the same as homebuyers, but it shows which foreign groups are currently most prominent in the country and potentially drive part of the demand for renting and buying real estate.
There has also been a noticeable increase in labor migration from Asia. The OECD notes that among new arrivals in 2023–2025, the largest groups were citizens of Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Turkey, while the Romanian labor market has also been actively attracting workers from India and Bangladesh in recent years. For the housing market, this is particularly important in the rental, dormitory, and affordable housing segments in major cities, rather than in the premium segment of apartment purchases.
