Paul Miron – Managing Director:
For savvy investors, including property and mortgage investors, the new year traditionally starts with reading bold economic and property predictions by our favourite fund managers and economists trying to foresee “what lies ahead for the coming year”.
If 2020 taught us anything, it is to expect the unexpected. What I am 100% certain about is that 2021 will be a continuation of the emotional roller coaster ride that we all experienced in 2020. The only difference is that the unexpected is now the expected.
Mutating strains of Covid-19 rampaging through the globe alongside, the logistical issues inhibiting the efficient rollout of new vaccines, geo political instability and untraditional economic policies (QE and governments printing money) are just some of the examples of black swan events which lurk on the horizon in 2021.
