Mark Aengevelt: “EXPO REAL 2025 – more concrete, more solution-oriented and forward-looking!”

EXPO REAL 2025 has come to an end. The weather in Munich was much worse than the mood in the exhibition halls.

The ECB should continue to hold back on lowering key interest rates

The ECB's decision to leave key interest rates unchanged is understandable and correct. Despite the poor economic situation, there is still a risk that inflation will rise again.

Peter Axmann
Comment

If inflation stabilises at current levels and GDP growth slows noticeably due to lower US demand for European goods as a result of the tariff increases, I think a 25 basis point rate cut in December is likely.

As expected, the ECB has left key interest rates unchanged in order to continue to monitor the currently rather stagnating economic development.

The general conditions remain challenging for the industry at the current interest rate level

Project developments continue to be under pressure from high financing costs, and many market participants remain cautious. Despite the uncertainties, however, we are confident that 2026 can be a turning point for the market.

100 days of the Federal Government: Statement by Thomas Wirtz, INDUSTRIA Immobilien GmbH

In the balance sheet from 100 days of the new federal government, we are critical of the extension of the rent brake. Although this instrument has a short-term relief effect on individual tenant households, it inhibits investment in urgently needed new construction and reduces the attractiveness of the residential real estate market for institutional investors.

100 days of the Federal Government: Statement by Arnaud Ahlborn, INDUSTRIA Immobilien GmbH

100 days in office: The new federal government has set the first course for housing policy – some of them in the right direction, others with problematic side effects. Above all, the 'construction turbo' sends an important signal to the industry.

What is sold as "budget consolidation" is in fact a step backwards with an announcement.

Statement by Francesco Fedele, CEO, BF.direkt on the ECB interest rate decision

It will be exciting to see how the ECB will decide at the next interest rate date in September. At least one more interest rate cut this year has already been priced in on the financial markets.

Unchanged key interest rate: assessment by Annika Steiner, Partner at Wüest Partner

The ECB is leaving the key interest rate at 2.00 percent, signaling that it is waiting for the time being. It is likely to be a well-chosen period for a pause in interest rate cuts after the ECB reaches the neutral range of its monetary policy in June 2025...

ECB stays the course – positive signals for real estate and investments

The inflation rate is now stable within the target corridor, the yield curve has normalised – after a total of eight key interest rate cuts since mid-2024, a level has been reached that is currently in the range of the interest rate considered neutral by the European Central Bank (ECB). Accordingly, there is no pressure for the ECB to act in the short term.
