    The COVID-19 pandemic brought a halt to
    overseas investment activity last year, as investors dealt with an uncertain
    economic and business outlook as well as restrictions on international travel.
    As economies start to recover in 2021 with the roll-out of vaccines and better
    control of the pandemic situation, overseas investment activity is expected to
    regain momentum, particularly in the second half of the year.
    In this virtual event, Cushman & Wakefield’s investment experts will
    share their insights on the current state and outlook of the North American and
    Asian markets and recommended investment strategies.
