A higher interest rate is the top concern for investors in the Asia-Pacific (Apac) living sector amid the Middle East war, according to the inaugural Asia Pacific Living Survey by Cushman & Wakefield.
The preliminary findings, released in April, suggest that investors are primarily worried about the financial spillover effects of the conflict. About 77% of respondents identify rising interest rates as the key transmission channel risk, while 69% cite higher inflation and 50% point to rising debt costs or widening credit spreads as major concerns shaping their outlook for the Apac living sector.
