    Economic Reports, Global Research Reports Global 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.

    Multimedia Asia Economic Pulse Asia Podcast - November 2012

    Moderate Growth Is New Norm

    As Sigrid Zialcita, Managing Director, Research , Asia Pacific, explains, “Even though a number of countries will remain in recession through the first half of 2013, modest positive growth is forecast for the region overall. As well, the sluggish “average” of the region will hide some stronger areas of regional and sector growth.

    For the office sector, sustained job gains will underpin steady improvement in leasing activity well into 2013, albeit strong increases are less likely. Grade A rents still have room to grow in most cities – with new records likely to be set in Shanghai, Beijing and Jakarta. A soft landing in China will also reinforce a growth slowdown in the region as it has evolved into a vital source of export demand for most Asian economies.

    Multimedia EMEA Economic Pulse EMEA Podcast - November 2012

    Master Of Its Own Destiny

    As David Hutchings, Partner and Head of the European Research Group, explains: “Europe’s problems are clearly deep and long lasting, but they are not universal across all markets and, while there is a long road left to travel and plenty of room for unpleasant surprises along the way, the first building blocks of a sustainable solution appear to have been put in place.

    As David points out, “If we are right in our reading of the economy, the implications for the property market will be varied, with many occupiers remaining defensive, but some acting or preparing to release pent-up demand as confidence improves.”

    Multimedia Americas Economic Pulse Americas Podcast - November 2012

    Slow But Not Stalled – Stronger Growth On The Horizon

    Listen to Maria Sicola, Executive Managing Director, Americas Research, explain why 2013 will be a transition year for the Americas, marked by modest to strong growth. While most of next year will be dominated by economic uncertainty, the underlying health of the regional economies will emerge as the fog lifts later the year, and drives growth higher.

    For the real estate sector, 2013 may spell another pause in much of North America, while Central and South America will continue to grow at a healthy pace, but the stage has been set for strong regional growth in 2014 and beyond.
