Investment growth in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania continues to increase while Poland and Slovakia have seen a downturn. Cushman & Wakefield Echinox's data shows that total transacted volume reached 9.98 billion Euro - a 4.3% decrease on 2020 figures.  The Czech Republic is one of the few Central and Eastern European countries to see a decline in investment volumes over the past year.  This is largely due to investors looking elsewhere for better returns after Brexit referendum caused uncertainty on return rates.  Meanwhile Hungary saw investment volumes drop by 18% from EUR 1 bln to 800 million Euro over the same period of time.  However Romania has seen significant increase with 39%, reaching EUR 775 million invested this year while Polish investors spent USD 1 billion more than last year at around EUR 816 million.  These numbers demonstrate that some markets are still attractive for investments despite recent turbulence across Europe.
