Investment volume in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE-6) fell by around 52% to €5.1 billion in 2023, reaching a ten-year low. Higher borrowing costs and the price difference between buyers' and sellers' expectations are among the reasons why transaction volumes are well below the ten-year average level of around 10 billion euros. Domestic capital was the most active with an impressive 56% share of total regional volumes. Czech capital secured the highest share of volumes with 28%. This results from a survey by Colliers, a leading provider of diversified professional services in the field of commercial real estate and investment management, which was presented at a February meeting of Czech and Slovak investors and other financial experts working in the field of commercial real estate.

Even in the Czech Republic, we know how to build timeless workplaces that are maximally adapted to the needs of employees, energy efficient, sustainable and also architecturally interesting. The proof is the ČSOB branch in Králové-Hradec with a capacity of 1,050 jobs, which is one of the most modern of its kind in Europe. The building received the LEED Platinum certificate, which means that it meets the strictest ecological standards and is environmentally friendly. Schneider Electric, which equipped the building with modern technologies for energy management, made a significant contribution to achieving this level.
In the region of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE-6 countries), a significant increase in the GDP growth rate is expected this year, from less than 1% last year to approximately 2.5%. According to experts from the Colliers company, which belongs to the top in the provision of diversified professional services in the field of commercial real estate and investment management, activity will therefore begin to increase in the commercial real estate market in this region in the second half of the year. However, the condition for this development is a reduction in interest rates in the eurozone. At the same time, retail parks will continue to be the main engine of growth. Other trends and forecasts published by Colliers for the CEE region in 2024 will include:
