Conclusions The View from the US US economic growth will strengthen over the next five years interest rates will normalize (+ 200 250 bps) Rising interest rates will be largely offset by cap rate compression Capital flows into US real estate may result in no upward adjustment in cap rates Sustained investor confidence will be critical to achieve this outcome 24
