While there will be variations within and between regions, it is widely anticipated that the global office market will stabilize in 2013 with slow growth being the norm in early 2013. While some markets and regions will experience increased activity later in the year, noteworthy growth is not expected in the majority of locations until 2014 and beyond.

Economic Pulse Report - November 2012

2012-11-06 11:45:41.0

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.
