EU RECOVERY FUND LIFTS ECONOMIC OUTLOOK FOR THE BLOCK, BUT RISKS AROUND SECOND COVID-19 WAVE REMAIN

EUROPEAN MARKET VIEW - LASALLE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
Overview
ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS

 •      After months of discussion, EU leaders struck a deal on the Covid-19 recovery plan worth €750bn financed via EU-wide
        borrowing. The plan includes €390bn in grants alongside loans aimed to help suffering member states.

 •      The move came on top of less negative readings of the economic sentiment indicator in June, which keeps rebounding from
        its April low.

 •      Financial markets reacted positively to the announcement. Equity stocks rose in line with Southern European bond prices,
        resulting in the narrowest gap between 10-year Italian and German bond yields since March.

 •      Growing confidence in the Eurozone economy aided by the recovery fund is also reflected in more positive GDP outlooks for
        member states from 2021 onwards.

 •      Despite more positive news, risks around a second Covid-19 wave remain. The annualised EU-28 retail sales growth index
        turned negative for the first time since May 2010, highlighting ongoing difficulties experienced particularly in the retail and
        hospitality industry.

REAL ESTATE

  •     Q2 20 European rolling annual office take-up was down 19% y/y and 13% down q/q. This means that the vacancy rate
        increased for the first time in seven years to 5.4%, even though it is coming from a very low level of 5.2% in Q1 2020. At a
        regional level, demand suffered most in the UK and in Southern Europe and least in CEE countries.

  •     Prime office rents across European countries held surprisingly steady in Q2 2020. Some exceptions were Paris, Hamburg and
        Stuttgart, where rents went up q/q, while London City and Oslo both saw rents decline.

  •     Q2 2020 European prime property yields moved out most for retail warehouses (+31bps), followed by shopping centres and
        retail shops (each +20bps & +22bps). Industrial yields moved out by +8bps, while office yields were relatively stable. Much of
        the movement was driven by the UK, which saw the biggest q/q yield shift of +35bps.

The outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) was declared by the World Health Organisation as a “global health emergency” on the 30th January 2020 and was then characterised as a pandemic in March 2020. COVID-19 has impacted global
financial markets, severely restricted international trade and travel, disrupted business operations (in part or in their entirety) and negatively impacted most investment asset classes (including real estate (whether held directly or indirectly, or whether as a
result of being a lender to owners of real estate)). As a result, conditions exist in the real estate markets that may result in value uncertainty and valuations are reported on the basis of significant valuation uncertainty or extraordinary assumptions related to
the impact of COVID-19. This communication contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not descriptions of historical facts and include statements regarding management’s intentions, beliefs, expectations,
