CEE economies and property markets started the year on a solid footing. Strong quarterly increases in office and industrial rents supported CEE all-property values in Q1, though yield compression slowed. However, rental growth is likely to drop back further ahead as economic growth decelerates, supply rises and structural changes take their toll. And we expect all-property yield compression to come to a halt, given increases in bond yields and signs of a shift in investor sentiment towards some CEE markets. As such, capital value growth is likely to slow sharply by year end.
