Dear readers! We are pleased to present to you the eleventh issue of the journal in 2025. There are a lot of relevant and useful materials in the issue, which, hopefully, will not be ignored.
Dear readers! In September the CeMAT RUSSIA exhibition was held, which showed everyone that innovations and robotics are increasingly penetrating the logistics industry. We can safely say that many technologies are tested here, and only then they go out into the world. However, it is not only CeMAT RUSSIA that demonstrates the prevalence of the digital agenda.
Dear readers! This is the ninth issue of the journal, which turned out to be very rich and diverse. Traditionally, the issue is opened by an analyst. The material by Alina Nasyrova from the Market Guide Agency, dedicated to investments in warehouse complexes in Russia, recalls the importance of developing logistics infrastructure for the integrated development of regions.
According to the new research, the investment volume in 2016 amounted to $4.5 bn (or RUB315 bn), being 37% higher than the same period of 2015 in dollar terms. About 34% of this amount (1/3) was driven by the government sector deals, while there were no such deals in 2015.
The expected investment volume into Russian real estate is expected to be at $5 bn in 2017.
Irina Ushakova, Senior Director, Head of Capital Markets Department, CBRE in Russia, commented:
“The investment volume in 2016 amounted to $4.5 bn (or RUB315 bn), being 37% higher than the same period of 2015 in dollar terms. About 34% of this amount was driven by the government sector deals, while there were no such deals in 2015. High investor activity of last year was inefficient because of significant mismatch between buyer and seller expectations that prevented deal closure. As a result, the volume of real market deals was down by 10% compared to 2015, and amounted to almost USD3bn. We expect more stability and gradual economic and real estate market recovery this year, which together with pent up demand allows us to forecast investment volume to be at about $5 bn in 2017.”
