In light of a potential reforecast to global GDP and finance and investment strategies, this eMeeting will discuss what such impacts might have on FDI into CEE. What assets in CEE are considered safe havens that could expect a steady cash inflow, will all capital retreat to Warsaw and what appetite should we expect from Asia, US and Europe?
Is the strong domestic capital enough for sustainability in these difficult times?
Retreat to Core - Where are CEE’s assets and city safe havens?
Dealflow - Back-outs from the giants or waiting on potential sell-offs?
Dry powder - Is the moment now, if not when?
Asia, US, ME and Europe - Who will play a long game in CEE?
How to adapt products to the financial restructuring models?
