Trowels down: Challenging market conditions will continue to impact investment

In 2009, the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) was created to manage debt attached to property assets; it acquired €74 billion of debt from 11,500 loans of 850 debtors. As it sold off assets and recouped money from indebted developers, operators recapitalised and resumed activity.
