Twelve lots situated in Chisinau were sold for a total of 25.9 million lei at an auction held by the Chisinau City Hall. The most popular lot was sold for 5.7 million lei, the initial price being 3 million lei. This is about 20 ares in area and is located on Petricani St, IPN reports.

Of the 17 lots put up for sale, ten were sold at the auction, two by direct negotiations, while five where not auctioned due to the absence of bidders.

There are now fewer lots for sale in Chisinau than during the previous years and these are probably less attractive. However, the auctions yield tens of millions of lei into the municipal budget, said mayor general Ion Ceban

The first outcry auction to sell land in 2021 was held in February, when 11 lots were sold for a total of 34.5 million lei.
