In this Insights In Focus episode, we analyse the UK’s current economic turbulence through the lens of the commercial property sector.   With capital values down 15% in the last year, has bricks and mortar lost its attractiveness to investors? And, with inflation remaining stubbornly persistent, what do trendlines in the sector tell us about the UK economy as a whole?   Host Philippa Lamb is joined by Suren Thiru, Director of Economies at ICAEW, and Mat Oakley, Head of European commercial research at Savills, to discuss the key issues.   Links ICAEW Business Confidence Monitor: https://www.icaew.com/technical/economy/business-confidence-monitorICAEW Commercial Property hub: https://www.icaew.com/technical/business/business-start-up-and-finance/commercial-propertyICAEW Economy hub: https://www.icaew.com/technical/economy   Host Philippa Lamb   Guests Suren Thiru, Director, Economies, ICAEWMat Oakley, Head of European commercial research, Savills  Producer Natalie Chisholm   Episode first published: 28 July 2023 Podcast recorded: 24 July 2023
