After a slow start to the year, investment activity is picking up amid a stronger growth outlook, lower interest rates, and stabilising asset prices.  

Key Highlights:

• With growth in consumer spending set to strengthen, investors are increasingly seeking out opportunities in the retail sector to take advantage of high income returns.
• Sydney is attracting a large share of capital deployed in Australia as investors target the scale and liquidity of gateway cities globally.
• With investment returns typically above average in the years following the start of an interest rate easing cycle, now is a good time in the cycle to acquire assets.
• The shift to lower interest rates, the large quantum of dry powder, and the need to recycle assets are powerful catalysts for unlocking investment activity going forward.
