Banking, Lending and Real Estate - International finance
This book deals directly with the risk/return multiple trade-offs coming out of the closely
intertwined relationship between banking and real estate. The authors explore how banks
could embrace a more proactive approach to make the most of their, mostly “long-only,”
exposure to real estate, and create positive spillover effects on their real estate counterparts
and the sector as a whole. It provides a “state-of-the–art” representation and analysis of
the strategies that best practices in banking are adopting to manage these issues and plan
for a new set of interrelations, driving a “virtuous circle” as opposed to the current one.
Banking, Lending and Real Estate is built on the academic know-how and professional
expertise of the authors, who have been researching, writing and working on this joint
topic for over a decade. With its pragmatic approach, it allows the reader to capture
which leading hedge active and holistic approaches are available today and proven to
treat, e.g., the banks’ overexposure to this asset class; to manage “unlikely to pay” and
sub-performing positions; and to optimise the recovery value coming from the workout
of real estate–related NPL (and underlying assets). Case studies and relevant examples
are provided, leveraging on the authors’ experience in consulting projects in the EMEA
region and from working with global, regional and domestic banks and the real estate
players acting across its value chain.
This book will appeal to both academics and business practitioners within the bank-
ing, financial services and real estate sectors, as well as professionals from financial and
strategic/industrial advisory working in those fields.
