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.
