Vultures wait in vain for a fire sale
Article Abstract:
The Asian financial crisis did not result in the expected large and inexpensive real estate foreign investment largely because of Asia's inoperable bankruptcy, foreclosure, and banking regulations. About 50% of loans in Thailand and 65% in Indonesia are non-performing. Mike McFarlane of Macquarie Bank expects Asian real estate prices will fall and sees benchmark returns of 25-30% net to real estate investors over a seven-year period. In many Asian countries, bad debt is being placed in the hands of government authorities.
