Beijing Investment Q4/2024
“In 2024, the Beijing en-bloc investment market faced increasing pressure amid various internal and external challenges and a complex macroeconomic background. The value of different asset classes has been directly or indirectly impacted by fluctuations in the real estate market, leading institutional investors to adopt a generally cautious approach. As a result, market sentiment for investments has declined compared to previous years.”
