Raiffeisen Chief Economist Fredy Hasenmaile recently gave a presentation on interest rates, foreign exchange markets, and the global economy.

During the presentation, he discussed the euro-franc exchange rate and provided a forecast, highlighting various influencing factors.

The real estate market is currently experiencing positive changes, with declining interest rates leading to increased yields, lower vacancy rates, and shorter advertising periods for rental apartments, indicating high demand.

Guido Saxer, Head of Corporate Clients at Raiffeisenbank Oberes Rheintal, shared current construction data during a Q&A session.

He revealed a significant building boom in certain Rhine Valley villages, but noted that construction activity varies across the region, with the upper Rhine Valley showing different trends compared to other areas.

The event concluded with networking opportunities for approximately 50 real estate experts, who had the chance to engage in further discussions with Hasenmaile.
