IEIF: How Can We Create Tomorrow’s Value?

September 11th 2018

New Paradigms, New Positionings

Global growth remains robust, despite some signs of a slowdown—particularly in Europe. However, several recent developments are increasing the likelihood of a faster-than-expected economic deceleration: desynchronized economies, late-cycle overheating in the United States, rising political uncertainty in Europe, inflation driven in part by higher oil prices, the return of volatility in financial markets, and emerging signs of vulnerability in developing economies. Yet, it is the tensions surrounding global trade—sparked by the United States—that represent the most immediate and serious threat to the global economy.

Furthermore, the actual or anticipated end of ultra-accommodative monetary policies implemented by central banks in recent years—and their implications, especially in terms of interest rates—marks a turning point. This signals the end of a 35-year period of nearly uninterrupted decline in long-term interest rates worldwide.

Lastly, the impact of economic cycles is being compounded by profound societal and technological shifts, prompting real estate players to fundamentally rethink asset design, strategies, and business models.

The IEIF’s annual conference will bring together leading economists, expert analysts, and renowned real estate professionals to examine these changes and their operational consequences for real estate value creation in the years ahead.

This conference offers a unique opportunity to take a step back and gain strategic perspective on the future. We look forward to welcoming you.

William Violet, Co-founder of Homiwoo, will be speaking at the IEIF Conference on October 17th 2018.
