The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors’ newest edition of its quarterly Global Commercial Property Monitor highlights positive occupier and investment sentiment across the globe for the first three months of 2018.

The European real estate market is still going strong, with cities like Amsterdam, Berlin, Frankfurt and Paris leading the way.

RICS Chief Economist Simon Rubinsohn cast some light on the survey’s results in a discussion with CPE Senior Writer Alexandra Pacurar.
