Of course, there will be the usual lag between economic recovery and market recovery, but real estate, which has suffered from a sharp supply demand imbalance, widening vacancy rates and falling realised rents, looks close to bottoming. Yes, it will take time for confidence to return fully but there is sound cause to be bullish on Nigeria going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This positive take on the region is the subject of a paper Mundy will publish at the West Africa Property Investment Summit being held at the Eko Atlantic Hotel on the 28th \u2013 29th Novmber 2017. In it he unpacks five key drivers that support the path of improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, there is increasing optimism as the economy kicks into gear. Mundy says that as the external environment improves, and the government bolsters its fiscal position, so too will sentiment for the Naira. Inflationary pressures are under control and household income outlook is reasonably robust. Add to this the recovery of the oil price and the picture is looking brighter.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, government policy making is gaining some credibility through coherent plans to support diversification and fiscal consolidation with the backing of external bodies.<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, there is evidence that the decline in rental rates in Lagos is reaching the bottom of the cycle. While the advantage still rests with the occupier in both corporate and retail markets, Mundy believes this will close through 2018 as the economy recovers.<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>Fourth, the legislative framework is in place for real estate pricing to mitigate the impact of a volatile economy. This is vital to support greater liquidity. It will allow for a more efficient mediation of capital between the interests of a growing class of savers and alternative asset classes that can provide annuity income, such as real estate.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, for an economy and population the size of Nigeria\u2019s, Mundy thinks there is a structural undersupply of investment grade real estate stock. This is changing, which will provide increasing opportunities, for both local and international investors. He says JLL\u2019s experience of other heavily pro-cyclical markets with a close tie in to commodity exports, such as Russia, suggests that in high growth markets, large vacancy rates and volatile rental growth are necessary at the early stage of the real estate cycle.<\/p>\n<p>In line with these five key drivers the WAPI Summit theme is set in the same positive tone with \u201cChanging the West African Narrative.\u201d Mundy lists pipeline projects like Wings Office Complex, Royal Gardens Mall, Eko Atlantic, Lekki City and Landmark Village that will support the institutionalisation of the market and greater liquidity over the longer term.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the region is not without challenge. The unwinding of quantitative easing (QE) will create uncertainty, the trend of rising public sector indebtedness is a risk across most of Sub-Saharan Africa, and there is considerable political uncertainty around a potential successor for President Buhari.<\/p>\n<p>Obstacles aside, sentiment across the sector is certainly improving, underpinned by quantifiable progress across several areas.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigerian Real Estate To Turn The Corner In 2018 Five Reasons to be Bullish on Nigerian Real Estate in 2018 &nbsp; The picture looks brighter for occupational and capital markets as the economy improves As the city gears to host the globally recognised real estate-focused West African Property Investment Summit (WAPI) (www.WAPIsummit.com) next week, there &hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":19415,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[900,2267,3318],"coauthors":[2393],"class_list":["post-19414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-business","tag-eko-atlantic","tag-lekki","tag-real-estate"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.9 -
