IVS updated, effective from January 2022.
The latest edition of the International Valuation Standards (IVS) marks an important milestone towards harmonising valuation practice worldwide.
UN Habitat Valuation Manual published promoting IVS as the basis for the valuation of unregistered land.
In many developing countries, only 30 per cent of land rights are registered (UN-Habitat/ GLTN and IIRR 2012) and the rest are unregistered lands that may be held by poor people. Yet there is a dire need for governments and individuals to be able to value these lands. Valuation is necessary to improve control over land and property in a way that builds equitable access to financial services and mobilises resources for economic growth and poverty reduction.
There are more than 170 member organisations of the IVSC, operating in over 130 countries worldwide.
