As stated by Investment Visa in February 2025, Portugal's real estate sector has proven to be one of the most robust in Europe, demonstrating strong resilience in the face of global economic uncertainties. Over the past decade, the country has increasingly attracted international investors, with real estate becoming a key investment channel. The combination of a growing expatriate community-now making up 10% of the population-and a flourishing tourism industry has driven significant demand for residential and commercial properties. This steady influx of foreign capital and continued development activity signal a strong pipeline of real estate projects requiring financial and contractual guarantees.

Meanwhile, Greece has witnessed a rise in property investments, particularly from Indian investors, motivated by impending amendments to the country's highly sought-after Golden Visa Programme. In just two months-July and August 2024-property acquisitions by Indian nationals jumped by 37%, as buyers moved quickly to lock in permanent residency under the existing investment threshold of € 250,000 (US$ 270,357.4) before it increases to € 800,000 (US$ 865,143.6) in premium markets such as Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini. The Golden Visa Programme has long been a driving force for non-EU investors seeking European residency, and the latest changes have further accelerated demand, particularly for high-yield rental properties and long-term capital appreciation opportunities.

The EU funding for infrastructure projects plays a significant role in driving the surety market growth, as these projects often require performance and payment bonds to ensure their completion. Additionally, government regulations surrounding public sector tenders, especially in construction, mandate the use of surety bonds. Further, the continued investment in infrastructure projects across the country presents a long-term opportunity for surety companies.

Thus, The rapid growth in real estate investment in Portugal and Greece is expected to present a significant opportunity for the surety market growth. As foreign investors increasingly engage in high-value property transactions-many involving government incentives such as residency programs-the need for financial guarantees, performance bonds, and contractual surety instruments becomes more prominent.
