The UK will be Europe's best performing real estate market over the next five years, according to AEW.

The US real estate investment firm said this was because UK property yields are less vulnerable to rate increases than their continental peers.

In its relative value analysis, only five markets are considered attractive while 47 are classified as neutral out of the 168 market segments covered.

The UK is ranked most attractive out of 168 covered market segments for the second year in a row on a relative value basis over the next five years, with Benelux second, reflecting an above average share of attractive and neutral markets, AEW said.

Nov 23 (Reuters) - British economic activity fell at close to its fastest pace in nearly two years in November, adding to signs of recession as orders sank and employment growth slowed, a survey showed on Wednesday.

The 'flash' or preliminary version of the IHS Markit/CIPS composite purchasing managers' index (PMI) for Britain edged up to 48.3 from 48.2 in October, which was its lowest reading since January 2021, when there was a COVID-19 lockdown.

"A further steep fall in business activity in November adds to growing signs that the UK is in recession, with GDP likely to fall for a second consecutive quarter in the closing months of 2022," Chris Williamson, chief business economist at IHS Markit, said.

PMI readings below 50 represent economic contraction, and economists polled by Reuters had expected the flash PMI to fall again this month to 47.5.

Nov 23 (Reuters) - The Bank of England will press on with interest rate rises to battle inflation even though Britain is heading into a long albeit shallow recession, with consumers facing an extended cost of living crisis, a Reuters poll of economists found

Dr John Glen, CIPS Chief Economist said:

“There was a barely discernible light at the end of the tunnel for private sector businesses in November as they remained in contraction for the fourth month in a row as a result of higher inflation, borrowing costs and energy bills.
“The survey pointed to some deeply concerning developments such as the quickest fall in new orders since January 2021 and the fastest decline in manufacturing export orders since 2009 outside the pandemic years. The covid veil, now almost completely lifted, has revealed the challenges still faced by exporters struggling with customs and paperwork challenges and other Brexit constraints putting off overseas customers.
“Weaker order levels were bad timing particularly for manufacturers given that supply restrictions eased a little more so this should have been a better month. In a shrinking marketplace, operating capacity continued to contract, and the sector lost more jobs.
“Services providers were more optimistic than the UK’s makers, even with recession, the war in Ukraine and inflation continuing to throttle customer demand. Perhaps the return of more stability in the UK political landscape had businesses hoping this is the start of some sustainable improvements ahead.”

Commenting on the flash PMI data, Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence said:

“A further steep fall in business activity in November adds to growing signs that the UK is in recession, with GDP likely to fall for a second consecutive quarter in the closing months of 2022. If pandemic lockdown months are excluded, the PMI for the fourth quarter so far is signalling the steepest economic contraction since the height of the global financial crisis in the first quarter of 2009, consistent with the economy contracting at a quarterly rate of 0.4%. Forward-looking indicators, notably an increasingly steep drop in demand for goods and services, suggest the downturn will deepen as we head into the new year.
“While the recent change of government has resulted in improved business confidence, the business mood remains among the gloomiest seen over the past quarter century amid the numerous headwinds, which include the cost of living crisis, the Ukraine war, steepening export losses (often linked to Brexit), higher borrowing costs, fiscal tightening and heightened political uncertainty.
“Price pressures meanwhile remain elevated but show further signs of cooling, often linked to weakened demand, which – combined with the growing recession signals – suggest that the Bank of England may start to make less aggressive interest rate hikes in the coming months.”

Sharpest fall in new orders since January 2021 as cost of living pressures continue to hit the UK economy

Key findings:
Flash UK PMI Composite Output Index(1) at 48.3 (Oct: 48.2). 2-month high.
Flash UK Services PMI Business Activity Index(2) at 48.8 (Oct: 48.8). Unchanged.
Flash UK Manufacturing Output Index(3) at 45.4 (Oct: 45.0). 4-month high.
Flash UK Manufacturing PMI(4) at 46.2 (Oct: 46.2). Unchanged.
Data were collected 11-21 November

UK private sector firms signalled another reduction in business activity during November, which stretched the current period of decline to four months. New orders meanwhile decreased at the fastest pace for almost two years as squeezed client budgets continued to hit demand in both the manufacturing and service sectors.
On a more positive note, business expectations for the year ahead rebounded from the 30-month low seen in October. Many survey respondents commented on recession worries and increasingly challenging economic conditions, but there were fewer comments citing domestic political uncertainty.
The headline seasonally adjusted S&P Global / CIPS Flash UK Composite Output Index posted 48.3 in November, up only fractionally from 48.2 in October and signalling a further modest fall in private sector business activity. The index has now registered below the crucial 50.0 no-change value for four consecutive months.
