Investment in real estate has become a global affair. Cross-border capital flows in the property markets can now be counted in billions of dollars. To achieve the best possible return on real estate investment it is vital that investors keep abreast of the economic, political and property scene across a wide canvas.

For a capital-intensive asset class such as commercial real estate, the impact of tighter debt has been swift and significant. The bigger picture would show that commercial real estate is now a global asset class - just like stocks, bonds, and private equity. While the US and the UK have hit an air pocket, real estate markets in continental and Eastern Europe are still climbing. The diversity of commercial real estate markets in these countries means that the ripple effects of credit tightening are felt quite differently in cities around the world.
