Comment

“Aengevelt contradicts the dampening of rent dynamics through socialization.”

Aengevelt criticizes media reports on the policy brief of the Hans Böckler Foundation. The paper does not explain why socialization should slow down rent dynamics and is not a solution to the housing shortage; it is therefore not suitable as an argument for socialization.

Berlin’s politicians have neither heart nor plan for tourism

In its analysis of the election programmes, the ApartmentAllianz Berlin criticises a lack of hospitality and a clear strategy of Berlin’s politics. The Left Party and the Greens rely on control and regulation, the SPD on city tax funds. A quality- and guest-oriented development is demanded.

MARKET COMMENTARY: Iran War Drives Oil Price – Fundamentals Point to Sharp Decline

Oil price climbs to about 103 dollars per barrel in the wake of the Iran war, according to Dieter Wermuth. Historically and fundamentally, the level is clearly inflated; in the medium term, weaker demand and the energy transition speak for falling prices. In the short term, political risks remain high.

SAGARD ANALYSIS: Why the mid-market segment is gaining importance in the new private equity environment

In a recent analysis, Sagard shows that the small and mid-market segment is gaining in importance in the changing private equity environment. Higher financing costs are shifting the focus to operational value creation; lower valuations and broader exit options are strengthening the mid-market.
