The Brexit Effect Investors will now be in a risk-off mode, meaning more investors would either pull out investments or stay put without investing further till clarity emerges. Until today, 2016 was looking seemingly positive for the real estate sector in terms of investment inflows (read PE or FDI inflows), but now that is somewhat at risk. The real estate sector in India will continue recovering on the back of a resilient Indian economy and strong capital inflows. Brexit will not really disturb that recovery since India s office market leasing is dependent only by 5-7% on UKheadquartered companies, investments and activity of PE funds from EU countries in India than in the UK. Investors in the UK looking to invest in residential properties outside UK will have to study and compare returns and risk assessments for real estate in India versus real estate in the EU. However, investors will refrain from making plays for some time as they will want to develop a good understanding of the comparative risksreturns scenario. The first reaction of investors to a situation like this is to exit from sectors that are perceived risky. Given the Indian stock markets, real estate was considered risky until recently; it had only begun to emerge on the back of policy reforms like RERA and other factors providing a positive market momentum. Given a risk-off sentiment, realty stocks could witness selling pressure as investors scramble for safe-haven sectors such as FMCG or pharmaceuticals. Several major IT firms such as Infosys, TCS and HCL Tech earn a third of their revenues from the EU. A possibility of EU slowing down will have an adverse impact on their revenues. The IT sector is a leading occupier of office space in India every year. More European retailers entered India in 2015 as part of expansion strategy to new markets. We had anticipated this trend to continue in 2016. However, if the EU economic outlook weakens, their expansion strategies may be reconsidered. India could be an anchor of stability, given that a proactive government has carried out reforms at a satisfactory pace and that its inflation has remained controlled over the last year or so. India s bilateral trade with the UK is export surplus, which is good for India. However, compliance cost for India s exports will rise. At the same time, India can negotiate more favorable trade terms with the UK. The British pound is currently at a 31-year low, which itself provides an attractive rationale for foreign investors with an appetite to do so to acquire properties in the UK. There is no doubt that the UK particularly cities like London has always held a special attraction for Indians, particularly HNIs, with business interests or families there. Such individuals will certainly keep a close watch on the effect of Brexit on UK property prices, and it is very likely that many more Indians will seek to invest there.
