• New debt funds’ (and banks) yet to infiltrate majority of CEE, bar Poland

• Banking debt availability positive in Russia, Poland, Czech Rep & Slovakia

Office Yields: EE v Germany

9

• Yields offer a discount to Germany, allowing for some country/liquidity risk

• Warsaw on a par with Madrid, which has seen an investment surge in Q2

• Are Tier 2 yield discounts enough relative to the perceived/actual risks?

Tier 1 Cities Tier 2 Cities

300 bps enough?

Capital Value Indices

10

• Prime rents – recent fall in Warsaw a short-term blip

• Secondary rents still ‘bumping along the bottom’ , vacancy ‘flat’

margins

Fraudulent Claims

costs money estimated

US$8.9 billion (2012)

Space Rationalisation

less traffic = lower sales

In-store fulfilment

can counter balance reduced ‘free
