Breglia (Scenari): 'RE will hold despite duties. Opportunities in the EU for institutional investors".

Will the duties introduced by the Trump administration also have an effect on the domestic real estate sector? According to Mario Breglia, president and founder of Scenari Immobiliari, there could be an effect on the real estate sector and perhaps not a negative one.
"The scenario," said Breglia, "could be positive for institutional investments because the duties do not touch finance, but the real economy. Financial flows are unaffected, and large international investors will continue to focus on more secure and less unstable investments, as well as on more secure real estate products such as offices and logistics". Therefore, in the short to medium term, 'institutional investors will be able to expand the amount of real estate they hold in their portfolios. And they will increasingly orient themselves towards European countries that guarantee stability, such as Germany, France, England and Italy. Let's think about the great attractiveness and investment volumes that identify the great exploit of Spain".
In short, for Breglia, "on balance, those duties for institutional investors are not bad news". On the other hand, as far as households are concerned, 'it is possible that we are moving towards further reductions in the cost of money, with a consequent drop in mortgage repayments, which could encourage purchases. While negative news could come from new construction, should there be an increase in material costs, which at the moment do not seem to be particularly affected'.

Innovation is an economic reality, a central element for growth and a social redistributor to guarantee opportunities for improving people's living conditions, with impacts on markets, employment and environmental sustainability. With the use of innovative techniques and technologies, in 2035 real estate will be able to generate 535 billion euro of our country's wealth, rising to 800 billion in 2050. This is what emerges from the report presented during the Innovation Forum by Scenari Immobiliari and Dils.
According to the report, "innovation, a decisive lever for implementing new models of economic development and regenerating social structures, is necessary to face the great challenges of our time: demographic, ecological and digital. In the global scenario, characterised by profound transformations, the ability to produce innovation and enhance knowledge is confirmed as the main factor of competitiveness'.

Innovation, added Mario Breglia, "is now the infrastructure of real estate. Within it, finance, construction and real estate services are redesigning production structures, integrating digital technologies and sustainable solutions within the entire real estate supply chain, a flywheel for economic modernisation and widespread value creation. Today, the real estate sector in Italy accounts for 22% of national added value and employs two million people in over 740 thousand active companies. But the most important vision is in the future, in the evolutionary scenarios to 2035 and 2050".

Innovation is the main driver of urban evolution and the spaces in which we live: "Technology is an enabler, it is essential to intercept global trends and translate them into concrete solutions - said Giuseppe Amitrano, founder & group ceo of Dils -. In a world in which 2.500 billion dollars every year in research and development, a significant share of which is destined for innovation in the technological sphere, Italy shows significant strengths: from 2014 to 2024 it has recorded a constant progression in performance, thanks also to a system of highly responsive micro, small and medium-sized enterprises and a high-level public and university research network'.
