Primary Evidence

"Real estate companies are experiencing an unprecedented boom worldwide. Because they can take on high debt with almost no interest payments. And they are receiving equity capital from wealthy investors like never before. This applies to real estate companies from China to Germany. In this country, even long mediocre companies like Vonovia, which primarily own unassuming apartment blocks, manage to suddenly become a major player in the DAX-30, the top stock market segment, through a series of acquisitions."

"The shock in interest rates, triggered by Lagarde and her board, can be read from the stock price of Germany's largest real estate group, Vonovia: reaching its peak at 60.08 Euros on August 18, 2021, it plummeted to 16.58 Euros by March 24, 2023. Hence, the market capitalization decreased by nearly three-quarters – even though the demand for Vonovia apartments remains strong."
