Real Estate in Emerging Markets: Opportunities and Risks

Despite an ongoing financial crisis that has spared few industries and countries, participants in the recent Knowledge@Wharton Real Estate in Emerging Markets Forum focused on the opportunities that still exist in underserved markets for those who know where to look. Panelists and guest speakers at the Forum, organized in collaboration with Interconnect Events, included global real estate developers, investors, finance specialists and top-level executives in the industry. Their overall message, as stated by one participant: "No one is safe today, but on a relative basis, the emerging markets are better positioned." In this special report, Knowledge@Wharton offers podcast interviews (including transcripts) with Forum participants who spoke about their experiences doing business in emerging markets.
