2010-01-09 17:52:21 - New Business research report from Business Monitor International is now available from Fast Market Research

This is the first edition in BMI's new series of reports on real-estate sectors around the world. We have sought to incorporate data and insights from our reports on infrastructure and commercial banking - as well as our own forecasts for the economies of the various countries that we survey. Key issues - Russia We suggest that the following are the key issues to monitor for the real estate sector in the coming year or so: The absolute level of construction in Russia is a major positive factor for the real-estate sector. Any substantial weakening in activity would be a major negative factor. Growth in bank lending; one reason is an anticipation of continued strong growth. Any sign of bank

caution in lending would be a major setback. Real-estate prices. We are strongly of the view that the magnitude of the price rises in 2008 is unsustainable. Exactly how the real-estate booms ends in Russia will have an impact on the sector for the next two years. These conclusions are based on our proprietary Real Estate/Construction Business Environment Rating (RECBER), the component factors of which we discuss in detail. The conclusions are also set against recent conditions in the commercial office market, for which we have used office rents in major cities as a proxy and in the residential real estate market, for which we have used housing prices as a proxy. A major trend throughout all our real estate reports is that, mainly due to the global financial crisis, access to funding will be more important than usual. Accordingly, we have incorporated overviews of conditions in the commercial banking sector, both globally and in the region of each country. We have also looked at the issues that will drive the fortunes of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) over the coming months.
