- The price of commercial real estate in the Eurozone has dropped significantly due to the sharp increase in interest rates;
- Structural factors are also at play with the teleworking, online commerce, and the demand for buildings with better energy efficiency;
- The outlook, while slightly improving, remains degraded;
- For the ECB, commercial real estate represents one of the most significant risks to financial stability in the Eurozone;
- Its focus is on real estate investment funds, which represent 40% of the commercial real estate market;
- In the event of market stress and significant investor redemption requests, open-ended real estate investment funds (80% of the funds) are exposed to a liquidity risk that could pose a systemic risk to the commercial real estate market and impact the financial stability of the Eurozone.
