Hailed as the first big black swan since covid, the SVB collapse could have a devastating ripple effect on real estate economies, bringing pain to an already volatile lending environment. That being said, a fall in interest rates could lead to positive developments for us, facilitating a reshaping of European and US financial markets.
Whatever your thoughts, and whatever next week’s Federal Reserve announcement brings up, GRI Club Members will come together to engage in an open dialogue with their peers to make sense of the current situation and where we could be headed.
Participate as you wish, sharing insights and learning from other industry leaders facing the repercussions of this pivotal moment in history.
