This Research Report looks at the potential of catalytic capital investments in the housing sector of Central and South-Eastern Europe (CSEE), and more specifically in eight countries of this region – Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czechia, Croatia, Hungary, Northern Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia. The countries were selected to reflect diversity in terms of EU membership, size and economic development. The report brings much-needed input for cooperative housing developments in the CSEE region. Furthermore, it provides key information for the future development of MOBA Housing SCE and its financial mechanism MOBA Accelerator.

Beyond presenting our key findings, two respondents from the field of housing finance brought up their perspectives, and the audience was invited to ask questions and comment.

The research was supported by a grant from the Catalytic Capital Consortium Grantmaking, a project of the New Venture Fund.
