According to ImmoStat figures, the volume of investment in the retail market will come to €2.4 billion in 2024, down 19% year-on-year. "Even though the fourth quarter was disappointing, with €354 million recorded due to the postponement of a number of deals, we are hoping for the end of the downward cycle, with several factors pointing to a clearer recovery in 2025," comments Benjamin Sebban, Retail Investment Director at CBRE France.
