Birmingham's economy has remained strong despite a slowing global economy. Key factors driving growth include continued increases in business startups and house prices, strength in the automotive industry, record levels of inward investment and infrastructure projects, and strong growth in the visitor economy. Unemployment has fallen significantly but some residents still face barriers to employment. The economy is forecast to be one of the strongest performing in the UK over the next decade.

The document provides an analysis of the Metro Chicago medical office building (MOB) market for the second quarter of 2016. It finds that while job growth and demand for healthcare services remains strong, the MOB market is showing signs of slowing absorption due to a large single vacancy. Specifically, vacancy rose to 13.7% due to the vacancy of a 153,000 square foot building, while average asking rents continued to increase. The outlook remains positive, with expectations that vacancy will decline over the long term as demand and MOB job growth remain strong, fueling need for additional space.

Glasgow City Region - Enhancing ProductivityMartin Jack
Executive Summary
From the waterfront in Greenock to the farmlands of Lanarkshire, Glasgow City Region is the largest
metropolitan area in Scotland. Whilst there is still much to do, the Region is beginning to blossom as
it transforms from its industrial past. In doing so, it is benefitting from taking a regional approach to
addressing its challenges and taking advantage of economic opportunities.
Glasgow City Region is:
• Key to the success of the Scottish Economy – it provides 34% of the country’s jobs.
• Growing – it is expected to add another 30,000 jobs from 2017 to 2021. The largest growth rates are seen in the ICT, Engineering, Tourism, and Legal industries.
• Providing Quality Jobs – recent analysis by the Office of National Statistics shows that the region has the second highest proportion of ‘residents in quality work’, just behind the West of England Combined Authority.
• Increasingly Competitive – its productivity levels have grown by 30% in the last decade. It is currently projected to have higher productivity levels than other post -industrial regions in the UK such as Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff and West Yorkshire in the next few years.
• Prosperous – the Region’s residents have the highest weekly income amongst the
• UK’s Core Cities.
• Educated – it has the 2nd highest rate of residents (16-64) educated to degree level amongst Core City Regions.

Hong Kong's Clouded Destiny by Wu, Dingeldey & Wan, TIE, Sep 2015Philipp Dingeldey
Hong Kong is facing several economic challenges that threaten its status as a leading financial and commercial center. Hong Kong's "fault lines" include chronic income stagnation, growing inequality driven by rising housing prices, and poor employment prospects for youth. Additionally, Hong Kong's competitiveness is eroding as costs rise while productivity does not increase. Younger generations have expressed long-standing discontent with the government through protests, deepening political divides. Unless the government takes steps to address these issues, Hong Kong's economic decline appears inevitable.
This document provides an outline and introduction to chapters 7 and 8 on economies of scale and international trade. It discusses external economies of scale which occur when costs depend on industry size, and internal economies which occur from large firm size. Trade based on external economies can concentrate an industry in one location. Monopolistic competition with product differentiation and internal economies can drive intra-industry trade between similar countries. The Grubel-Lloyd index measures the extent of intra-industry trade between two trading partners.
Chinese outbound M&A has boomed in recent years, with deals surpassing $59 billion in 2015. The document analyzes trends in Chinese M&A, finding that deals are increasingly focused on strategic sectors aligned with China's 5-year economic plans like Industry 4.0, healthcare, automotive, and renewable energy. European countries with strong manufacturing like Germany, UK, and Italy have seen increasing M&A from Chinese investors, with deals in these strategic sectors expected to continue growing.
The document summarizes Latvia's macroeconomic development and key indicators in 2009. It notes that gross domestic product growth was down and all main branches of the economy faced notable decreases in value added, especially manufacturing, construction, retail trade, and tourism. Several indicators are listed such as the economic activity index, retail trade turnover, consumer price index, unemployment rate, balance of payments, external trade, industrial output, and housing prices. The output gap widened due to low capacity utilization during this period.

The global economy has shifted towards Asia in recent decades. The UK runs large trade deficits in goods but surpluses in services. Germany and China are two of the UK's main trading partners for imports, while exports mainly go to other European nations. A persistent current account deficit can cause problems like lower growth and job losses if it indicates weak competitiveness. Policy options to address deficits include supply-side reforms to improve productivity and demand management policies to reduce spending on imports.
The document summarizes the outlook for various global office markets in 2013. It finds that while headwinds from economic uncertainties remain, overall the global office real estate market shows stability. Office demand in major cities is expected to remain steady, with modest vacancy rate improvements projected for the US and Canada. Strong demand driven by energy and other industries will support the US market. Resource sectors will drive steady growth in western Canada, while eastern markets remain more moderate. Mexico and Brazil are projected to see continued economic expansion, although office absorption has slowed recently in Brazil.

The survey found UK manufacturers remain confident about prospects over the next 12-36 months, though confidence levels have slipped slightly from the previous year. While most think the UK government is managing the economy well overall, manufacturers were slightly less positive about policies supporting the manufacturing sector specifically. There is a perception that other countries like Germany and China provide more state support to their manufacturers. The global economic situation also generates some caution among UK manufacturers.
In May, the Industrial Price Index (IPRI) recorded a year-on-year increase of 2.9%, driven by an 8.8% rise in energy prices and a 2.6% increase in intermediate goods prices, while non-durable consumer goods prices fell by 0.6%. The service sector accounted for 42% of GDP in 2016 and had over 1.5 million companies and €471 billion in turnover. SMEs are expected to generate over 500,000 new jobs by 2019, though job growth will slow to 2.6% annually due to declining construction employment.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) isolated from blood could provide a more accurate diagnosis of pancreatic cyst lesions (PCLs) and help predict risk of pancreatic cancer. The researchers developed an immunofluorescence staining protocol to distinguish CTCs from white blood cells. They aim to genetically analyze CTCs from PCL patients to identify cancer-related genes and conduct a pilot study to determine if CTC analysis can predict pancreatic cancer risk in PCL patients. This technique could lead to an improved, minimally invasive method for diagnosing and monitoring PCL patients.

This document summarizes the key findings from the Centre for Cities' annual Cities Outlook report for 2014. It notes that cities are driving the UK's economic recovery, accounting for over half of jobs, population and economic output, yet there is significant variation in economic performance between cities. While London and some other large cities are seeing strong private sector job growth, many cities continue to struggle. It argues that greater devolution of powers, taxes, and spending to cities could help unleash their economic potential and better tailor policies to local needs. Overall, the report emphasizes that cities will be crucial to improving living standards and prosperity, and should be at the heart of the political debate in the run-up to the next general election.

Robust occupier demand and low vacancy rates will help insulate the UK logistics sector from negative impacts of Brexit in the short term. Strong take-up levels and limited new development are keeping supply constrained. While some speculative development may slow in the second half of 2016, continued demand for warehouse space is unlikely to create a major supply shortage that would impact rents or investment volumes.
The Deloitte Consumer Tracker survey found that UK consumer confidence remained steady in Q4 2016 despite a small decline from the previous quarter. While overall confidence dipped slightly, confidence levels were still higher than a year ago. Spending on both essential and discretionary items increased in Q4, and unemployment continued to decline. However, rising inflation and slowing wage growth may pose challenges to consumer spending power in 2017.

The document summarizes factors that will influence M&A activity in 2016 according to Deloitte's analysis. There is divergence in global economic growth, monetary policies, and corporate performance that is creating opportunities for M&A deals. Divergence in economic growth means companies will need to seek growth markets. Differences in monetary policies between regions like Europe and the US create funding opportunities. Variations in corporate earnings between regions also present reasons for cross-border M&A.
This document discusses trends and opportunities in the Australian property market looking ahead to 2015 and beyond. It notes that the populations of Sydney and Melbourne will continue to grow rapidly and will likely become more connected as part of a broader "Eastern Seaboard Megalopolis". Key factors driving changes include globalization, technology/digital trade, infrastructure developments, demographic shifts, and growth in industries like tourism, education and logistics. The document argues there will be significant demand for higher density housing and continued focus on major cities, with new property opportunities arising from economic clusters and transportation improvements.
The document discusses several industries in the UK economy including car rental and leasing, engineering, publishing, entertainment and media, food and beverage manufacturing, and software development. It provides statistics on growth rates, revenues, employment and trends for each industry through 2016-2017 and beyond. The car rental and leasing industry has grown in recent years and is estimated to increase revenues by 3.4% annually through 2016-2017. Engineering accounts for a quarter of UK turnover and requires over 250,000 new recruits by 2022. The publishing and entertainment industries are also growing with total publishing revenues reaching £4.4 billion in 2015 and entertainment projected to become the largest sector in Europe.
Rents and occupancy rates across all office grades in Ho Chi Minh City increased in Q4 2015, with Grade A average asking rents rising 1.5% quarter-over-quarter. While CBD office supply remained unchanged, 30,000 square meters of new non-CBD stock was added. In 2016, Grade B office space will see the largest new supply increase, with nearly 77,000 square meters from 4 new projects. Demand for office space is expected to rise due to economic growth, infrastructure improvements, and new trade agreements.
Rental growth was recorded across all office grades in Ho Chi Minh City in the first quarter of 2016. Grade A average asking rents increased 1.92% while Grade B surged 5.1%, though average occupancy rates witnessed a downward trend. No new office buildings entered the market, while the supply pipeline included 11 Grade A and 57 Grade B buildings. Grade B will see most new supply in coming quarters, while 4 new Grade A buildings after 2018 will substantially increase stock. Strong foreign direct investment is expected to continue driving office demand from foreign enterprises.

2. City Economic Digest – January 2016
This report interprets and analyses a wide range of data and intelligence to (i) provide up to date,
comprehensive data relating to key performance indicators, (ii) create a clear and compelling narrative
identifying the key drivers of Birmingham’s economic growth and (iii) reflect the impact of a variety of
stakeholders and providers in contributing to growth. It is produced by the Regional Observatory as part of
Marketing Birmingham’s Service Level Agreement with Birmingham City Council.
Key headlines
While pace of the UK recovery has started to falter in the wake of a global economic slowdown Birmingham’s
performance has remained strong – and is forecast to be one of the UK’s strongest performing cities over the
next decade. This is being underpinned by:
•Continued healthy growth in new business start ups
•A further rise in house prices, reflecting a growing confidence in the city as a place to live and work (they
remain affordable, however - still 34% below the UK average and 76% below the London average
•The continuing strength of the automotive industry and its supply chain
•Record levels of inward investment – with new office construction at its highest for 13 years and a range of
significant infrastructure investments coming on stream
•Further strong growth in the visitor economy – with visitors up by 9%, expenditure up 12%, jobs up by 7%
between 2013 and 2014 and record hotel occupancy rates
Employment in the city is back above pre-recession levels, with the strongest growth in private sector
employment in the country.
There has been a healthy upturn in average pay levels and in unemployment in the city has fallen at a rate
twice the national average.
Youth unemployment, meanwhile, has fallen at a rate four times the national rate – in large part reflecting the
13 percentage point improvement in the proportion of the city’s young people achieving good GCSE grades
over the last decade
At the same time, however, there is still a pressing need to tackle the barriers to accessing employment still
faced by significant numbers of local residents - Birmingham’s employment rate has fallen over the last 12
months and the number of people who are ‘economically inactive’ (i.e. neither in employment or seeking
work) has risen.

1 The economy
The global economy is seeing a slowdown in activity in the wake of a slowdown in China, rising interest rates in
the US and turmoil on financial markets which have seen oil prices plunge in recent months1.
While the UK economy has continued to expand, with the fourth quarter of 2015 the 12th successive quarter of
growth, growth of 2.2% for 2015 as a whole was markedly down on the 2.9% achieved in 2014. And while
there was healthy growth in service sector, manufacturing output fell for a fourth successive quarter.
2015 has been a particularly challenging year for manufacturers, with export activity hampered by the
continuing high value of Sterling. At the same time, however, trends vary widely within the sector. For example
the UK car market saw a 6.3% increase in registrations in 2015 – driven by strong consumer and business
confidence, new model launches, low inflation and the availability of attractive finance deals2.
Birmingham’s economy continues to recover
Birmingham’s economy grew by £2.4bn in the post-
recession period between 2009 and 2014, more than
any other regional city. While growth rates have
fluctuated year-on-year, the city’s economy
performed particularly well between 2012 and 2013,
when growth of 6.1% was well above the UK rate of
4.1% and the highest of any core city
And is forecast to be one of the strongest
performing UK cities over the next decade
Looking forward, meanwhile, Birmingham is forecast
to be the strongest performing city outside London
over the next decade with GVA growth of 19% over
the 2015-2025 period3.
4. Birmingham’s business base continues to grow
In 2013 there were more new business start ups in
Birmingham than there were failures – for the first
time since 2008 – and this has been repeated in
2014. There were 5,300 business births in 2014, 44%
up on the figure in 20104.
The upward trend in average house prices continues
In November 2015 the average house price in
Birmingham was £122,603 - a healthy 4% up on the
figure a year ago. While growth was lower than in
London, Bristol and Manchester it out-stripped that in
Liverpool, Sheffield, Leeds, Newcastle and
Nottingham, reflecting a growing confidence in the
city as a place to live and work.
Nevertheless house prices remain affordable relative
to other parts of the country – 34% below the UK
average and 76% below the London average.

2 Investment Growth is being underpinned by buoyant
investment
The continuing strength of the UK automotive
industry is a key driver of the city’s economic growth.
JLR, for example, has seen its UK sales grow by a
record 22% in 2015 and has announced a £450
million investment to double the size of its engine
plant at i54 and a new logistics centre at Castle
Bromwich5 . Strong demand from UK car
manufacturers, the increased trend towards re-
shoring of supply chains and increased investment in
new product development, meanwhile, is
underpinning strong performance within the area’s
automotive components sector.
Birmingham’s office market is going from strength to
strength, ranking as the top UK city for investment
prospects in 2016 6. Significant new investors are
being attracted to the city – notably global bank HSBC
which is moving its retail division to the city - and
office construction in the city is at its highest level for
13 years, with nearly a million square feet of office
space under construction 7.
While Birmingham, along with a range of other
European regional centres, is seen as offering good
value for money for investors, growth is also being
driven by the significant and on-going investment in
the city’s infrastructure – notably the £600 million
refurbishment of New Street Station, the Grand
Central Shopping Centre, the runway extension at
Birmingham Airport, the new Midlands Metro and
the HS2 high-speed rail line to London scheduled to
open in 2026.
In 2014/15 53 overseas investment projects were
landed in Birmingham - the highest number of
projects received by Birmingham since records began
in 1991, and improves on the previous year’s record
high of 42. A total of 2,019 jobs were created - the
third year in a row that over 2,000 jobs have been
created by inward investment in the city 8 (for further
details see this quarter’s FDI supplement).

3 Visitor economy
Birmingham’s visitor economy is going from strength to strength
Tourism expenditure has also begun to recover. An added bonus, meanwhile is that the ‘staycation’
trend for that emerged during the recession, with consumers swapping overseas trips for domestic
ones, is expected to continue as they rediscover what the country has to offer and the improvements
that are being made to the quality and diversity of the tourism offer 9. These trends have been of
significant benefit to Birmingham and the wider area. For example in 2014 numbers of visitors to
Birmingham were up by 3.2 million (9%) on 2013, expenditure was up by £0.6 billion (12%) and jobs
supported by tourism were up by 4,700 (7%) 10.
The attraction of international visitors has been
another key driver of growth in visitor numbers and
expenditure. Over the 2010-2014 period the number
of in-bound visits to Birmingham grew at a rate of
27.5% - the third best among the English core cities -
and an increase in absolute terms of more than
200,000 is the highest by some margin 11. This has
been paralleled by a substantial growth of just under
300,000 (7.5%) in numbers of in-bound passenger
arrivals at Birmingham Airport between 2013 and
2014 and a further increase of 320,000 (8%) between
2014 and 2015.
These developments have also boosted the area’s
hotel market. In October 2015, for example, an
Occupancy Rate of 81% compared with a figure of
79% in 2014 and 74% in 2013 while Revenue per
Available Room of £54 compared with £48 in 2014
and £41 in 2013 12.
The hotel market has become particularly buoyant in
the final quarter of the year, benefitting from both
Major conferences (examples in recent years include
the Conservative & the Green Party Conferences and
the Life Conference - a premier event for professional
interested in life insurance) and key events and
festivals such as Birmingham’s annual Frankfurt
Christmas Market and Christmas Craft Fair which
stimulates spending on shopping, bars, cafes and
restaurants as well as overnight stays and tourism
over the festive period.
7. Labour market
270,000 sq. m.
retail
4 Labour market Strongest growth in private sector employment in
the country
Between 2013 and 2014 the city saw the most
substantial job growth for more than a decade -
taking employment back above pre-recession levels.
The creation of some 22,500 net new private sector
jobs was the most of all of the English Core Cities 13.
This has been paralleled by growth of nearly 9% in
average pay levels in the city. This was higher than
any other Core City and double the increase in
Nottingham, its nearest rival 14.
And a sharp fall in unemployment – especially
among young people
There has been a 2.7 percentage point fall in the
city’s unemployment rate 15 in the 12 months to June
2015 – more than double the fall across the UK as a
whole 16. The unemployment rate for 18-24 year olds,
meanwhile, fell by more than 8 percentage points –
four times the reduction nationally.
With significant improvements in educational
attainment an important factor
The proportion of the city’s young people achieving 5
or more GCSEs at A*-C including maths and English
has risen by 13 percentage points over the last
decade - from 40% in 2004-5, which was well below
the national average, to 54% in 2014-15, well above
the national average.
At the same time, however, Birmingham’s
employment rate has fallen over the last 12 months
and the number of people who are ‘economically
inactive’ (i.e. neither in employment or seeking work)
has risen. This suggests that, despite an improving job
market, there is still a pressing need to tackle the
barriers to accessing employment still faced by
significant numbers of local residents.
