London Remains Business Capital of the World

Although London, Paris and Frankfurt remain the top three European cities to do business in, Moscow has been named the most favourable city in Europe for companies looking to expand according to a survey by Cushman & Wakefield. More companies (47) intend to next expand in the Russian capital than any other European city, a jump from 35 in 2009.

The findings reveal that Vienna, Austria, is the biggest riser this year - moving up six places to rank 22nd best European city for business. London is once again ranked the top business city overall, a position it has held every year since the survey started in 1990. Paris and Frankfurt are again ranked 2nd and 3rd. Brussels moves back into fourth place ahead of Barcelona with an improved score over the year.

In its 21st year, the European Cities Monitor is based on interviews with board directors and senior management in charge of location for the 500 largest companies in Europe. It includes an overall ranking of which European city is considered by the business community to be ‘best for business’ and the ‘best city in which to locate a business today’. In addition to this, 36 cities are ranked against criteria such as quality of life, access to markets, availability and quality of staff, cost of office space, telecommunications and transport links.

German Real Estate Investment Tops International Destination

International property investors are providing a welcome boost to the German real-estate market, which they see as an attractive alternative to popular destinations like Paris and London, reported Bloomberg.

While Paris and London property markets recovered faster from the recession and saw the greatest increases in capital values, those rates of growth have slowed. Higher prices amid increased competition in those cities have sent investors to Germany's five main markets--Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Hamburg and Duesseldorf. Property consultancy Savills PLC (SVS.LN) anticipates that interest will continue into 2011.

"Investors have been cautious to date and in the main focused on London and Paris but as the economy recovers, the top five cities in Germany are becoming a prime target alongside these locations," said Giles Wilcox, head of European cross-border investment at Savills.
International investors accounted for 40% of total transactions in Germany in the first half of the year, compared with only 15% in the same period last year.

They have boosted property transactions in Germany by 148% in the first half, which should result in total commercial real-estate investment there for the year of EUR16 billion compared with EUR11.2 billion in 2009.

Buyers from the U.K., the Netherlands and France, in particular, are targeting Germany alongside domestic investors, including open-ended funds, closed-ended funds, listed property companies and private-equity investors, which have re-entered the market.
