Economic Pulse Report - November 2012
Global Slowdown With Better Times In Sight
The year 2012 started off with high hopes that the challenges faced by the global economy would be overcome and growth would accelerate. Instead, the difficulties intensified and the expected improvement got pushed back.
Nevertheless, the fundamental drivers continue to point to stronger growth. As solutions to the political-economic challenges are implemented and confidence returns, demand will build and lead to a much healthier economic climate.
Even though 2013 will get off to a slow start, Cushman & Wakefield is optimistic that the stage has been set for a significant turn-up late next year and a strong global rebound in 2014 and beyond. Read our Economic Pulse Forecast 2013 for global and regional analysis.

EMEA Economic Pulse: An increasingly multi-speed recovery
While opinions are still mixed, Cushman & Wakefield is now more optimistic that a sustained recovery is underway. In all sectors, the days of tenant power will soon be numbered in the prime markets as supply levels erode, but many secondary markets will remain under pressure for some while yet. Even there, however, it will be interesting to see which areas are first to be picked off by either occupiers or investors as prices rise and availability falls in the prime market.

Americas Economic Pulse: The tipping point
The recovery is here and is likely to gain momentum as 2011 progresses. The entire region will benefit from stronger growth in the US, but all the major countries in the America's will be in full-fledged economic expansion mode. Healthy employment growth will contribute to declining vacancy in most markets, on average, and lead to a turn up in asking rents in the next 12 to 18 months. We are already seeing this trend take place in some markets.

Asia Economic Pulse: On track for sustainable growth
Asia Pacific is expected to outpace the world economy once again in 2011. Domestic demand will remain strong, with sustained improvements in hiring and incomes. China and India will be the region's star performers. Hong Kong and Singapore will remain the tightest office markets, while pockets of temporary weakness may appear in Shanghai and Mumbai due to the influx of new supply. Better office fundamentals will continue to spur investment activity particularly in the region's financial centers – Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, Tokyo and Sydney.

Asia Economic Pulse: Path of growth
According to Sigrid Zialcita, 2010 yielded positive surprises, with the regional economy returning to solid growth this year. The surge in exports and resilience in domestic demand have been the driving force of the economic bounce back in the region. China, India and Singapore are the fastest growing economies, with China overtaking Japan as the world’s second largest economy, exporter, and, now, the largest contributor to increases in global GDP.

Americas Economic Pulse: Yes, it's a recovery
As Ken McCarthy explains, recovery is slowly underway but it will take significant job growth, especially in the U.S., to spur the economy and real estate markets. Brazil is an exception: In Rio de Janerio, rents have soared by 60% this year so far and are expected to go higher. Mexico is stabilizing quickly and Canada, with its solid banking system and wealth of natural resources, is faring better than expected.

EMEA Economic Pulse: Europe gets on with recovery
In Europe, as David Hutchings explains the fog of uncertainty that European occupiers and investors have grappled with appears to be lifting. European unemployment stabilized more rapidly and is now starting to fall in some areas.
Germany and Sweden are showing significant improvements, while Norway and the UK are also expected to outperform in 2011. Poland continues to stand out, while Russia, Slovakia and Turkey are also fairing well. Fighting back are Ireland, Estonia and the Ukraine. Greece, Portugal and Spain have further struggles ahead.
