Asia Pacific Economic Pulse: How Does the Recession Compare?
For Asia, the best comparison is the 1997/1998 crisis when it took about two years for real estate returns to bounce back. The biggest problem is a lack of liquidity in the global financial system. However, Asian developers with deep pockets, private equity from the West and Middle East, pension funds and sovereign wealth funds are still interested in buying, with some on the lookout for distressed assets or a more fertile investment environment. |

Europe Economic Pulse: History Revisited
This slowdown rivals with the most serious at least since the oil shock of the 1970s, and, for some countries, we have to look further back to the late 1940s to find a larger fall. That does not mean, however, that it compares to the crises that followed the two World Wars or the Great Depression. Some countries could start to stabilize as early as the third quarter of 2009 as destocking ends, though most will not return to growth until the second half of 2010. |
