From 2014 until mid-July 2018, the former owners of the nationalized houses received compensation titles amounting to almost EUR 1 billion from the National Authority for the Restitution of Properties, according to data provided by the Authority to Pavel, Margarit and Associates Romanian Law Firm.

In 2017 and 2018 the number of the beneficiaries and the amounts also contains the payment titles related to the requests made by the clearing decision holders by points issued by C.N.C.I. from 2013 until now”, according to the National Authority for the Restitution of Properties.
