"Pakistan Real Estate Report 2015" is now available at Fast Market Research

Pakistan's commercial real estate sector is underdeveloped, with long-term security problems and unstable politics having served to deter investment into the sector. Although we see this situation continuing, at least in the short term, in the long term there are significant opportunities as prices are low, meaning potential yields are high, and there is considerable room to expand and modernise Pakistan's stock of commercial real estate.

Improved regulations surrounding the creation of real estate investment trusts (REITs) could pave the way for increased investment via this format, and lead to more Pakistani investment being directed into the home market rather than overseas.

We forecast Pakistan's real GDP growth rate will be around 4.1% a year over our forecast period to 2018. The economy is held back by concerns over the security situation and political tensions. However, we believe that the government remains committed to policies designed to improve the business environment and increase investment into Pakistan, which should in the long term benefit the commercial real estate industry.

The office sector has seen good levels of demand, with low prices for investors meaning that fairly high yields are possible. However, the recent political instability has dented confidence in the wider business environment, and we could begin to see demand falling, pushing rental rates down and vacancy rates up.
