AFIRE, the association for international real estate investors focused on commercial property in the United States, today released its AFIRE International Investor Survey Summer 2022 Pulse, underwritten by CBRE and Holland Partner Group. The survey, conducted in July 2022, reveals investors believe that while significant economic and geopolitical headwinds are present, there is opportunity to leverage this evolving reality to transform energy consumption, further adapt live, work and shop preferences, and to impact priority housing affordability demands.
“Institutional investors have long held the capacity to adapt, and with this AFIRE Survey Pulse we have been able to capture real time insights about the investment landscape and how capital markets are changing,” said Gunnar Branson, CEO of AFIRE. “Inflation, geopolitics, war, and interest rates are investment threats, but institutional investors, who generally have a long-term horizon, are also able to draw opportunities with nearer term impact.” (Click here to read the report summary from Gunnar Branson and Ben van Loon in the latest Summit Journal.)
The report provides a timely update to the first AFIRE International Investor Survey Report released in April 2022. Since this spring, report respondents indicate a less positive view on inflation with expectation that it is here to stay, though in some sectors more than others; 86% of respondents indicated that inflation this year has been worse than expected, echoed by sentiment for changes in interest rates (85% worse than expected), the cost of energy (79%) and materials (68%).
