German Banks have significant exposure to commercial real estate, including the office segment which is currently under pressure due to the hybrid work environment and higher interest rates. The US office market has experienced particular stress, which has adversely affected most German banks with operations in the US.
Join us for a discussion hosted by Erin Stafford, Managing Director, North American Real Estate Ratings and Sonja Förster, Vice President, European Financial Institutions. We will review trends in the US office market, the current financing situation for office properties, and the protection for lenders. We will then discuss the real estate exposure and performance of German banks, with particular focus on US office exposure.
