Global firms to cut UK investment

More than half of major global institutions expect to slow or stop their UK investment following Article 50, according to KPMG.

Its survey of more than 60 investors with a combined real estate portfolio of $600bn (£464bn) showed Middle Eastern investors were least likely, at 29%, to continue to invest in the UK. More than two-thirds of North American investors said the same.

LISTEN: Andy Pyle, head of real estate at KPMG, explains the survey’s findings.

Investment from the Middle East fell by 47% to €1.8bn (£1.52bn) between 2015 and 2016, according to BNP Paribas Real Estate.

The UK was still preferred by Middle Eastern and Asian investors.
