Real Estate Convictions France : 1st half of 2018
While global growth forecasts for 2018 and 2019 remain strong, the pace of expansion appears to have peaked in some countries.
In the eurozone, forecasters see robust growth of 2% in 2018. However, GDP growth is expected to dip slightly in 2020 with the gradual disappearance of some supportive factors. The inflation rate is forecast to approach 1.7% on an annual basis, much higher than over the period 2009-2016.
While energy and food made significant contributions to this growth in 2017, nonvolatile components are set to take their place and drive identical inflation out to 2020. A change in the inflation regime, an advanced indicator of interest rate hikes, has therefore materialised.
In this context, Henry-Aurelien Natter analyse the european real estate market.
