We need financial services, real estate and resources for our daily routines. Over the next two years, the global gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to grow by 4.6% to 4.8% (Source: Barclays Capital Research, as of March 2007). Financial Services provided by banks support economic growth. Continued economic growth suggests continued demand for financial services.
We consume resources everyday in the course of our lives. They are also a major part of theglobal economy; they constitute the raw materials that drive manufacturing. As the economy grows, businesses expand and hence demand for more offices, factories and other productive properties increases. Consumers may also move into better residential properties.
