10:15 AM — 12:15 PM (GMT+08:00) Kuala Lumpur, Singapore
The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia, Junior Ballroom, level 3
2023 opened with mixed signals and uncertainty about global capital markets - are the interest rate hikes stopping as inflation subsides? How are geopolitical tensions globally affecting institutional investors' allocation to real estate, especially across Asia? Will this be a year of tremendous opportunities as real estate markets are potentially set to correct? And what is the latest forecast on key economic indicators in major markets that can affect investment decisions? We will be exploring those questions and more at the Capital Markets Forum.
