Real Estate Convictions France : 2nd half of 2018
Will there be further delay in rate rises ?
In the specific case of French real estate, the global economic slowdown could have an impact on rental markets, although they are showing signs of resilience (see below). Investors are nevertheless above all looking towards the European Central Bank.
Although the ECB announced the ending of quantitative easing (largescale purchases of securities) in December 2018, the economic environment suggests that key rates should be kept the same.
Long-term yield forecasts for 10-year French Treasury bonds should therefore be limited to around 1% in 2019, i.e. a low level that will have no impact on prime real estate yields.
