Polls show Americans remain deeply worried about the economy and inflation
Figures from a new YouGov survey, commissioned ahead of the 10th edition of Cityscape Abu Dhabi, show that 58% of UAE consumers choose mortgages and finance payments when considering current and future property investment.
This preference mirrors borrower confidence in the market as 42% of the survey respondents expect it to remain stable and 40% forecast its growth in the coming 12 months.
The findings suggest that lenders could benefit from loosening the lending restrictions in a bid to attract prospective investors, as regional and international developers prepare for Cityscape Abu Dhabi the UAE capital's leading property event, running from 12-14 April at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.
Cityscape Abu Dhabi will celebrate its 10 year and will see new participants such as Emirates Red Crescent (UAE), SAPST (Morocco), Garanti Koza (Turkey) as well as returning organisations including Aldar Properties, DMA, UPC, Eagle Hills Properties, Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC), Bloom Properties, Masdar, Manazel, Eshraq, Wahat al Zaweya and Mubadala.
With hundreds of developments from Abu Dhabi and overseas being showcased, Cityscape Abu Dhabi 2016 is the home of real estate investment for the residential, retail, hospitality and commercial sectors.
