Hong Kong (AFP) - Le régulateur de Hong Kong va ouvrir une enquête sur le rôle de PwC dans les pratiques comptables du géant chinois de l'immobilier Evergrande, placé en liquidation judiciaire et accusé par la Chine d'une importante fraude.

Il a accumulé les dettes jusqu'à afficher un passif de plus de 300 milliards de dollars et est ainsi devenu emblématique de la crise immobilière qui sévit depuis des années dans la deuxième économie mondiale. Le mois dernier, l'entreprise a été accusée par ...

The data combined the cost of actual rents paid with an estimate of the cost of housing owners would pay if they rented their home on the open market - known as “imputed rent”. Housing in Poland, by contrast, has the lowest share of spending of any OECD country, with only 6%. The largest expenditure item across all countries but one was imputed rentals for housing. Poland is the exception, where electricity, gas and other fuels was measured as the largest expenditure. Poland’s heavy dependency on fossil fuels led to some of the highest wholesale electricity prices in Europe following Russia’s ...

For most people, buying a home is the biggest investment of their life. So it makes sense to take every risk into account. Increasingly, climate change is taking its toll on the property market, damaging and devaluing homes, and driving up insurance costs.

Over 40 per cent of US homes are at severe or extreme risk when it comes to these factors, the realtor said in a press release. Some ...

The price of an apartment in Istanbul is now in close competition with those in infamously expensive cities such as Paris and London, as figures show that Turkish house prices are 12 times higher than they were nine years ago in nominal terms. Among OECD member states, northern European countries such as Sweden and Finland have seen the smallest change, with more than 4% increases in nominal housing prices since 2015. On the other end of the scale sits transcontinental Turkey, followed by Hungary, where prices are 166% more than they were in 2015. The majority of OECD countries saw their house...

Defined broadly as those born from 1981 to 1996, millennials, also known as Generation Y, could possibly see a sizeable windfall in the next 20 years, due to property and other assets amassed by their parents and grandparents. This could clock in at about $90 trillion (€83.1 trillion) in the US alone.

Greece is one of the last remaining countries in Europe to offer golden visas. The controversial ‘residency by investment’ schemes allow wealthy foreigners to ‘buy’ the right to stay in a country long term.

The visas were intended to bring money into the country during its housing market collapse. The visa allows third-country nationals who purchase properties of a certain value to become temporar...
