THE GLOBAL TRENDS OF INVESTMENTS DURING LAST YEARS
Journal Title: Revista Economia Contemporana - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The global volume of transactions in terms of investment in 2015 decreased compared to the previous year by 3% reaching 689 billion USD. At the same time, the transaction volume in 2015 increased by 5% reaching 748 billion USD. Thus, the decline of the dollar investment indicator in regions is a result of the strengthening US currency. In turn, the US real estate market showed the highest result in 2015 - reaching 294 billion USD meaning an increase of 9% compared to 2014. It is expected that the volume of real estate investments on the global level in 2016 will increase to 720-730 billion USD. Taking in consideration the slowdown of world economy during last years the investors continue to look for options to diversify their risks and to invest in different sectors. Limiting new offers on the real estate market by increasing the capital oriented to the acquisition of assets, could encourage investors to focus on lesserknown markets and to consider different investment objects, such as student hostels and nursing homes for the elderly. If considering the FDI the interest of foreign investor, therefore, their involvement could be seen in the long run, the fact that excludes the possibility of carrying out speculative activities as in case of foreign portfolio investments.
