We cordially invite you to the webinar “COVID-19 and Property Markets: How is the pandemic affecting property markets in the UNECE region?” which will explore the recent development and most important driving forces underpinning national property markets; examples on how national land registries are coping with challenges and maintaining crucial social services; and how the private sector is tackling social restrictions and adapting to the situation. The webinar is jointly organized by the UNECE Working Party on Land Administration and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations(FAO).

 The pandemic has affected national economies and property markets all over the world were no exception. While some countries tackle the multiplicity of existing economic, political and social challenges, other countries report growing economic activity, despite lockdowns and various restrictions to conduct property valuations and inspections. We invite experts in land administration and management to join this webinar to explore what the benefits and opportunities are for property markets in the UNECE region.

This is the second webinar of a series of joint WPLA – FAO webinars on “Land Administration during the COVID-19 pandemic”. Conclusions, outcomes and learning from these exchanges will be presented at the twelfth Session of the UNECE Working Party on Land Administration on 31 May and 1 June 2021.
