Over the third quarter, investment volume throughout Italy reached €2.2 billion ($2.4 billion) — the best outcome of the past decade. From the beginning of the year, the total amount is €7.2 billion ($7.97 billion), a strong increase compared with the same period of the previous year, reported Colliers International. Considering the deals under-negotiation, the €10 billion ($11 billion) threshold should be surpassed again.
During the quarter, Italy has recorded a government change that has been well accepted by financial markets. This can be evidenced from the government bond yields at historical lows. As a consequence, despite experiencing a weak economic situation with very low growth perspectives for the next two years, Italy is able to gain profits from the copious liquidity of Europe. This is also proven by the fact that, during the third quarter, foreign investors represented 84 percent of the investment volume.
