Report: Colliers International - India Office Property Market Overview Q2 2017
Reflecting the delayed impact of demonetisation, India’s real GDP grew by only 6.1% in Q1 2017. Considering this modest slowdown to be temporary, most economic forecasters have maintained their projections of growth above 7% over the next two years. Despite recent concerns over layoffs in the technology sector due to automation, we expect the commercial market to remain resilient backed by the sustained expansion plans of major occupiers. The influence of the recent adoption of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the increasing interest of investors in the warehousing sector are events to watch for in H2 2017.

White Paper: WEF - The Africa Competitiveness Report 2017
The 2017 edition of The Africa Competitiveness Report comes out at a challenging time for the continent. In recent years, growth in several African countries has been subdued after more than a decade of solid expansion.

However, this situation has also given impetus to reforms and economic diversification. The strong economic performance of a number of African countries demonstrates Africa’s resilience and brings optimism about Africa’s future growth prospects
