White papersEconomic and Property Overview: Q1 2020
The first quarter of 2020 was shaped by the coronavirus, by the end of March 2020 a total of 29,474 confirmed cases and 2,352 deaths were reported for the UK. One month after the quarter end, the number of cases and deaths surged to 194,990 and 29,427 respectively. The costs to the British economy have been considerable; government-imposed lockdown measures to slow the spread of the virus have disrupted business activity, knocked consumer confidence and reduced business confidence levels to record lows. The flash PMI’s plunged from 53.0 in February to 37.1 in March, with a figure of 50+ representing economic expansion, it is now widely anticipated that the economy will contract in March.

White papersThe Covid-19 Crisis On The Outlook For Healthcare Property
Demographic change is a long-term phenomenon and, by definition, immune to short-term shocks. It is useful to remember that baby boomers, who are nowadays aged 45 to 70 years old, are progressively retiring. By the mid of this century, thirty years from now, the number of 80+ people in Europe will increase by around 35 million people. The demographic shift could even be greater, as investment in the medical industry increases in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis, and life expectancy rises. This will support demand for healthcare property in general.

Even factoring in the IMF’s forecast for a sharp rebound in 2021, the world economy will still be 5% off pre-pandemic levels, indicating the depth of this recession.
