Diverse Income Trust's diverse portfolio provides resilience in various market conditions, offering potential for income generation and capital growth. However, the portfolio's dependence on cyclical industries and interest rate sensitivity pose risks to future performance.

A volatile housing market has shaped the performance of major appliance manufacturers. In 2020 and 2021, the residential sector experienced a boom because of near-zero interest rates and growing disposable income. These factors boosted the value of residential construction and housing starts, generating significant demand for new appliances. During this time, manufacturers also benefited from steel prices jumping 110.5% in 2021, driving appliance costs upward and boosting revenue. These gains were quickly reversed as growing inflationary pressures and interest rate hikes beginning in 2022 began reversing the growth of the residential sector amid consumers becoming increasingly price-sensitive and slowing discretionary spending. Steel prices also began to stabilize at this time, pushing producers to charge slower prices, slowing revenue and squeezing profit. Between 2020 and 2025, revenue is estimated to have dropped an annualized 1.1%, reaching $24.8 billion in 2025, including a 0.8% dip that year alone. Trade dynamics significantly impact this industry because of significant import penetration, which reached 53.3% in 2025. Import penetration has grown in recent years despite tariff hikes on Chinese washing machines and steel products, as domestic appliances are often more expensive. With consumers becoming increasingly price-sensitive, they have been opting for more affordable imported appliances. The climb in imports from Mexico is notable, with major manufacturers expanding operations in Mexico, benefiting from lower trade and transportation costs. However, consumers have incentives to buy more sustainable appliances through state and local tax benefits, pushing producers to target these markets. Regulatory shifts regarding gas stove safety also drive demand for electric alternatives, requiring manufacturers and retailers to adjust accordingly. Moving forward, domestic producers will benefit from a recovering residential sector and improving macroeconomic conditions. Tax incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act, aimed at promoting the purchase of new ENERGY STAR-certified appliances, are expected to benefit manufacturers. Ongoing investments in production facilities in Mexico will sustain the upward trend of imports from the region. Increasing concerns about the safety of gas stoves may lead to enhanced state regulations, potentially prompting consumers to replace their existing stoves with safer models. Domestic producers face significant uncertainty for the coming years amid unstable trade relationships and a volatile economy. These trends are set to cause revenue to grow at an estimated CAGR of 1.5% to reach $26.8 billion through the end of 2030.

France's primary form plastics and synthetic rubber industry is navigating a transformative era marked by sustainability shifts, construction market challenges and raw material volatility. On the regulatory front, France's Anti-Waste and Circular Economy Law dictates aggressive recycling targets and a ban on plastic packaging for select produce items. This pushes manufacturers towards sustainable practices, providing a platform for innovative entry, particularly for those agile in R&D. Revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 3.9% over the five years through 2025 to €10.6 billion, including growth of 4.9% in 2025. The industry has grappled with a subdued construction sector due to higher interest rates, erratic raw material costs and subdued economic growth; this has hit revenue growth and profitability in recent years. This has prompted manufacturers to pivot strategically towards less economically sensitive sectors like automotive and healthcare, somewhat stemming the drop in revenue. In 2025, downstream demand is set to edge upwards as business sentiment improves in response to potential rate cuts from the ECB and improving economic growth prospects. Manufacturers involved in infrastructure projects remain relatively unscathed due to government co-funding and multi-year planning commitments. Price volatility, especially in petrochemical feedstocks like ethylene, challenges profitability. In response, manufacturers have explored alternative raw materials like bio-based inputs and adapted pricing strategies to pass on costs. Revenue is estimated to grow at a compound annual rate of 0.6% over the five years through 2030 to €11 billion. Technological advancements promise innovation, with polymerisation and compounding techniques allowing more complex polymers that cater to diverse demands, particularly in automotive industries. These innovations, alongside growing collaborations including Covestro and Ausell, will support revenue growth by appealing to eco-conscious consumers. Regulatory pressures mandate cleaner production and stricter emissions standards, steering manufacturers towards low-emission methods. This will result in short-term profit dips but ultimately mitigate exposure to fines. As interest rates drop, the construction industry revival will spur demand for plastics and synthetic rubber, buoying revenue growth. Innovators in supply chain management stand to benefit most, with timely delivery amid increasing demand ensuring greater profitability.

The Finance sector's operating environment was previously characterised by record-low interest rates. Nonetheless, high inflation prompted the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to hike the cash rate from May 2022 onwards. This shift allowed financial institutions to impose higher loan charges, propelling their revenue. Banks raised interest rates quicker than funding costs in the first half of 2022-23, boosting net interest margins. However, sophisticated competition and digital disruption have reshaped the sector and nibbled at the Big Four's dominance, weighing on ADIs' performance. In the first half of 2025, the fierce competition has forced ADIs to trim lending rates even ahead of RBA moves to protect their slice of the mortgage market. Higher cash rates initially widened net interest margins, but the expiry of cheap TFF funding and a fierce mortgage war are now compressing spreads, weighing on ADIs' profitability. Although ANZ's 2024 Suncorp Bank takeover highlights some consolidation, the real contest is unfolding in tech. Larger financial institutions are combatting intensified competition from neobanks and fintechs by upscaling their technology investments, strengthening their strategic partnerships with cloud providers and technology consulting firms and augmenting their digital offerings. Notable examples include the launch of ANZ Plus by ANZ and Commonwealth Bank's Unloan. Meanwhile, investor demand for rental properties, elevated residential housing prices and sizable state-infrastructure pipelines have continued to underpin loan growth, offsetting the drag from weaker mortgage affordability and volatile business sentiment. Overall, subdivision revenue is expected to rise at an annualised 8.3% over the five years through 2024-25, to $524.6 billion. This growth trajectory includes an estimated 4.8% decline in 2024-25 driven by rate cuts in 2025, which will weigh on income from interest-bearing assets. The Big Four banks will double down on technology investments and partnerships to counter threats from fintech startups and neobanks. As cybersecurity risks and APRA regulations evolve, financial institutions will gear up to strengthen their focus on shielding sensitive customer data and preserving trust, lifting compliance and operational costs. In the face of fierce competition, evolving regulations and shifting customer preferences, consolidation through M&As is poised to be a viable trend for survival and growth, especially among smaller financial institutions like credit unions. While rate cuts will challenge profitability within the sector, expansionary economic policies are poised to stimulate business and mortgage lending activity, presenting opportunities for strategic growth in a dynamic market. These trends are why Finance subdivision revenue is forecast to rise by an annualised 1.1% over the five years through the end of 2029-30, to $554.9 billion

This paper breaks the subjective constraints of bank runs in the DD model, and for the first time puts the psychological characteristics of households' financial behavior decision-making on the level of cross-market asset allocation that causes instability in the financial system. Through dynamic households' risk attitude and subjective investment demand rate of return, differentiated financial behavior decision-making judgment of households under different liquidity shocks is realized.This also negates the Keynesian school of mechanized procedures for the monetary realization of assets by households with static set liquidity preferences.Specifically, this paper proposes the "three firsts" model:The first DSGE model in which households are subjected to survival shocks, speculative inducements and loss incentives respectively, the first intertemporal economic profit model of banks with both interest rate sensitivity and asset liability heterogeneity, and the first limited game herding model in the stock market based on the principle of wave-particle duality (HY model for short).Through numerical simulation experiments, this paper finds three main conclusions as follows: The participation of the household sector in the formation of stock bubble prices after the shock will accelerate the loss of deposits in the banking system, which proves that the household as a survivable organization is a kind of financial vulnerability amplifier under pressure and instability;When the coverage breadth of medical shock is smaller and the average intensity is larger, the stock bubble of affected household sector participating in herd effect is larger.The wider the coverage and smaller the average intensity of medical shocks, the stronger the ability of the affected household sector to amplify the financial vulnerability of banks.

Construction equipment producers have faced significant volatility in recent years, largely driven by the performance of various branches of the construction space, including residential, industrial and infrastructure. Unfavorable macroeconomic conditions in 2020 led to a slowdown in nonresidential construction activity, as remote working practices became the norm, foot traffic at brick-and-mortar stores weakened and demand for manufactured goods weakened. However, during this time, the residential sector boomed as near-zero interest rates and the flexibility offered by remote working encouraged consumers to purchase or build homes, boosting demand for construction equipment. As the economy began to recover, the nonresidential sector slowly followed. However, elevated inflationary pressures and heightened consumer uncertainty placed downward pressure on demand from the residential sector, contributing to revenue losses in 2023. During this time, steel prices directly impacted revenue, a highly volatile commodity that squeezed producers' profit. These trends have contributed to revenue growing at an estimated CAGR of 3.1% to $43.5 billion through 2025, including a 0.9% gain that year alone. Domestic producers face significant competition from foreign manufacturers, which is largely driven by consumer preferences favoring foreign producers and other cost-advantage measures. Imports have been satisfying a growing share of domestic demand as elevated inflation makes consumers more price-sensitive. Similarly, the recent appreciation of the US dollar has made imported machinery comparatively more affordable, further boosting demand for imports. On the other hand, exports have been accounting for a smaller share of revenue, with a strong dollar making them less competitive overseas, pushing domestic producers to focus on serving their domestic markets. Looking ahead, construction machinery manufacturers will continue to enjoy solid growth. Expected interest rate cuts will boost residential and commercial construction as developers capitalize on favorable borrowing conditions. The market for multifamily housing remains robust, driven by younger demographics' demands, while government initiatives push for greener construction practices. The depreciation of the dollar will make US machinery more competitive abroad, fostering export growth. Similarly, domestic construction companies will seek domestic construction machinery manufacturers’ products as foreign products become more expensive. Industry revenue is forecast to climb at a CAGR of 1.6% to $48.2 billion through the end of 2030.

Gold is the most popular precious metal in the investment industry. The rate of return for gold investments fluctuated significantly during the period from 2002 to 2024 but generated positive returns in most years of the observed period. The return of gold as an investment reached almost ** percent in 2024, one of the highest recorded. Why is gold valuable? Gold is a precious metal with several practical uses, particularly in technology. For example, NASA uses gold to improve its lasers and protect sensitive things in space, including a part of the visor for its astronauts. However, a large share of the demand for gold worldwide is as an investment, particularly by central banks. Gold serves the purpose of an alternative to currency because it is relatively scarce but still has enough mine production to serve the financial sector. Gold as an investment Under the Bretton Woods agreement after World War II, the world’s major currencies were tied to the value of gold. This system, called the Gold Standard, ended in 1971. Still, most countries maintain significant gold reserves. Due to this history and the overall faith in the value of gold, the average gold price tends to increase in times of recession, making it an attractive investment in uncertain times.

Abstract

The objective of the survey is to obtain feedback from enterprises in client countries on the state of the private sector as well as to help in building a panel of enterprise data that will make it possible to track changes in the business environment over time, thus allowing, for example, impact assessments of reforms. Through interviews with firms in the manufacturing and services sectors, the survey assesses the constraints to private sector growth and creates statistically significant business environment indicators that are comparable across countries.

The standard Enterprise Survey topics include firm characteristics, gender participation, access to finance, annual sales, costs of inputs/labor, workforce composition, bribery, licensing, infrastructure, trade, crime, competition, capacity utilization, land and permits, taxation, informality, business-government relations, innovation and technology, and performance measures. Over 90% of the questions objectively ascertain characteristics of a country’s business environment. The remaining questions assess the survey respondents’ opinions on what are the obstacles to firm growth and performance. The mode of data collection is face-to-face interviews.

Geographic coverage

National

Analysis unit

The primary sampling unit of the study is the establishment. An establishment is a physical location where business is carried out and where industrial operations take place or services are provided. A firm may be composed of one or more establishments. For example, a brewery may have several bottling plants and several establishments for distribution. For the purposes of this survey an establishment must make its own financial decisions and have its own financial statements separate from those of the firm. An establishment must also have its own management and control over its payroll.

Universe

The manufacturing and services sectors are the primary business sectors of interest. This corresponds to firms classified with International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC) codes 15-37, 45, 50-52, 55, 60-64, and 72 (ISIC Rev.3.1). Formal (registered) companies with 5 or more employees are targeted for interview. Services firms include construction, retail, wholesale, hotels, restaurants, transport, storage, communications, and IT. Firms with 100% government/state ownership are not eligible to participate in an Enterprise Survey.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

The study was conducted using stratified random sampling. Three levels of stratification were used in this country: industry, establishment size, and oblast (region).

Industry stratification was designed in the way that follows: the universe was stratified into manufacturing industries, services industries, and one residual (core) sector. Each industry had a target of 90 interviews. For the core industries sample sizes were inflated by about 2% to account for potential non-response cases when requesting sensitive financial data and also because of likely attrition in future surveys that would affect the construction of a panel.

Size stratification was defined following the standardized definition for the rollout: small (5 to 19 employees), medium (20 to 99 employees), and large (more than 99 employees). For stratification purposes, the number of employees was defined on the basis of reported permanent full-time workers. This seems to be an appropriate definition of the labor force since seasonal/casual/part-time employment is not a common practice, except in the sectors of construction and agriculture.

Regional stratification was defined in 6 regions. These regions are Riga, Pieriga, Vidzeme, Kurzeme, Zemgale, and Latgale.

Given the stratified design, sample frames containing a complete and updated list of establishments for the selected regions were required. Great efforts were made to obtain the best source for these listings. However, the quality of the sample frames was not optimal and, therefore, some adjustments were needed to correct for the presence of ineligible units. These adjustments are reflected in the weights computation.

The source of the sample frame was the January 2008 version of the Business Register of the Central Statistical Bureau of Latvia. The quality of the frame was assessed at the onset of the project. The frame proved to be useful though it showed positive rates of non-eligibility, repetition, non-existent units, etc. These problems are typical of establishment surveys, but given the impact these inaccuracies may have on the results, adjustments were needed when computing the appropriate weights for individual observations. The percentage of confirmed non-eligible units as a proportion of the total number of contacts to complete the survey was 26.32% (195 out of 741 establishments).

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

The current survey instruments are available: - Core Questionnaire + Manufacturing Module [ISIC Rev.3.1: 15-37] - Core Questionnaire + Retail Module [ISIC Rev.3.1: 52] - Core Questionnaire [ISIC Rev.3.1: 45, 50, 51, 55, 60-64, 72] - Screener Questionnaire.

The “Core Questionnaire” is the heart of the Enterprise Survey and contains the survey questions asked of all firms across the world. There are also two other survey instruments - the “Core Questionnaire + Manufacturing Module” and the “Core Questionnaire + Retail Module.” The survey is fielded via three instruments in order to not ask questions that are irrelevant to specific types of firms, e.g. a question that relates to production and nonproduction workers should not be asked of a retail firm. In addition to questions that are asked across countries, all surveys are customized and contain country-specific questions. An example of customization would be including tourism-related questions that are asked in certain countries when tourism is an existing or potential sector of economic growth.

The standard Enterprise Survey topics include firm characteristics, gender participation, access to finance, annual sales, costs of inputs/labor, workforce composition, bribery, licensing, infrastructure, trade, crime, competition, capacity utilization, land and permits, taxation, informality, business-government relations, innovation and technology, and performance measures. Over 90% of the questions objectively ascertain characteristics of a country’s business environment. The remaining questions assess the survey respondents’ opinions on what are the obstacles to firm growth and performance.

Cleaning operations

Data entry and quality controls are implemented by the contractor and data is delivered to the World Bank in batches (typically 10%, 50% and 100%). These data deliveries are checked for logical consistency, out of range values, skip patterns, and duplicate entries.

Abstract

The objective of the survey is to obtain feedback from enterprises in client countries on the state of the private sector as well as to help in building a panel of enterprise data that will make it possible to track changes in the business environment over time, thus allowing, for example, impact assessments of reforms. Through interviews with firms in the manufacturing and services sectors, the survey assesses the constraints to private sector growth and creates statistically significant business environment indicators that are comparable across countries.

The standard Enterprise Survey topics include firm characteristics, gender participation, access to finance, annual sales, costs of inputs/labor, workforce composition, bribery, licensing, infrastructure, trade, crime, competition, capacity utilization, land and permits, taxation, informality, business-government relations, innovation and technology, and performance measures. Over 90% of the questions objectively ascertain characteristics of a country’s business environment. The remaining questions assess the survey respondents’ opinions on what are the obstacles to firm growth and performance. The mode of data collection is face-to-face interviews.

Geographic coverage

National

Analysis unit

The primary sampling unit of the study is the establishment. An establishment is a physical location where business is carried out and where industrial operations take place or services are provided. A firm may be composed of one or more establishments. For example, a brewery may have several bottling plants and several establishments for distribution. For the purposes of this survey an establishment must make its own financial decisions and have its own financial statements separate from those of the firm. An establishment must also have its own management and control over its payroll.

Universe

The manufacturing and services sectors are the primary business sectors of interest. This corresponds to firms classified with International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC) codes 15-37, 45, 50-52, 55, 60-64, and 72 (ISIC Rev.3.1). Formal (registered) companies with 5 or more employees are targeted for interview. Services firms include construction, retail, wholesale, hotels, restaurants, transport, storage, communications, and IT. Firms with 100% government/state ownership are not eligible to participate in an Enterprise Survey.

Sampling procedure

The study was conducted using stratified random sampling. Three levels of stratification were used in this country: industry, establishment size, and oblast (region).

Industry stratification was designed in the way that follows: the universe was stratified into 5 manufacturing industries, 1 services industry -retail -, and two residual sectors. Each manufacturing industry had a target of 160 interviews. The services industry and the two residual sectors had a target of 120 interviews. For the manufacturing industries sample sizes were inflated by about 33% to account for potential non-response cases when requesting sensitive financial data and also because of likely attrition in future surveys that would affect the construction of a panel.

Size stratification was defined following the standardized definition for the rollout: small (5 to 19 employees), medium (20 to 99 employees), and large (more than 99 employees). For stratification purposes, the number of employees was defined on the basis of reported permanent full-time workers. This seems to be an appropriate definition of the labor force since seasonal/casual/part-time employment is not a common practice, except in the sectors of construction and agriculture.

Regional stratification was defined in 5 regions. These regions are Marmara, Aegean, South, Central Anatolia and Black Sea-Eastern.

The Turkey sample contains panel data. The wave 1 panel "Investment Climate Private Enterprise Survey implemented in Turkey" consisted of 1325 establishments interviewed in 2005. A total of 425 establishments have been re-interviewed.

Given the stratified design, sample frames containing a complete and updated list of establishments for the selected regions were required. Great efforts were made to obtain the best source for these listings. However, the quality of the sample frames was not optimal and, therefore, some adjustments were needed to correct for the presence of ineligible units. These adjustments are reflected in the weights computation.

The source of the sample frame was twofold. Universe estimates were taken from the TOBB database which contains a full list of establishments in manufacturing sectors. TOBB refers to the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey. Universe estimates for service sectors were taken from the Statistical Institute of Statistics (SIS) with additional information based on SIC code from the Turkish Studies Institute (TSI). Comparisons were made between estimates in TOBB and SIS to establish that the two sources are comparable and hence can be used side by side.

The quality of the frame was assessed at the onset of the project. The frame proved to be useful though it showed positive rates of non-eligibility, repetition, non-existent units, etc. These problems are typical of establishment surveys, but given the impact these inaccuracies may have on the results, adjustments were needed when computing the appropriate weights for individual observations. The percentage of confirmed non-eligible units as a proportion of the total number of contacts to complete the survey was 43% (2811 out of 6458 establishments).

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

The current survey instruments are available: - Core Questionnaire + Manufacturing Module [ISIC Rev.3.1: 15-37] - Core Questionnaire + Retail Module [ISIC Rev.3.1: 52] - Core Questionnaire [ISIC Rev.3.1: 45, 50, 51, 55, 60-64, 72] - Screener Questionnaire.

The “Core Questionnaire” is the heart of the Enterprise Survey and contains the survey questions asked of all firms across the world. There are also two other survey instruments- the “Core Questionnaire + Manufacturing Module” and the “Core Questionnaire + Retail Module.” The survey is fielded via three instruments in order to not ask questions that are irrelevant to specific types of firms, e.g. a question that relates to production and nonproduction workers should not be asked of a retail firm. In addition to questions that are asked across countries, all surveys are customized and contain country-specific questions. An example of customization would be including tourism-related questions that are asked in certain countries when tourism is an existing or potential sector of economic growth.

The standard Enterprise Survey topics include firm characteristics, gender participation, access to finance, annual sales, costs of inputs/labor, workforce composition, bribery, licensing, infrastructure, trade, crime, competition, capacity utilization, land and permits, taxation, informality, business-government relations, innovation and technology, and performance measures. Over 90% of the questions objectively ascertain characteristics of a country’s business environment. The remaining questions assess the survey respondents’ opinions on what are the obstacles to firm growth and performance.

The UK inflation rate was 3.4 percent in May 2025, down from 3.5 percent in the previous month, and the fastest rate of inflation since February 2024. Between September 2022 and March 2023, the UK experienced seven months of double-digit inflation, which peaked at 11.1 percent in October 2022. Due to this long period of high inflation, UK consumer prices have increased by over 20 percent in the last three years. As of the most recent month, prices were rising fastest in the communications sector, at 6.1 percent, but were falling in both the furniture and transport sectors, at -0.3 percent and -0.6 percent respectively.
The Cost of Living Crisis High inflation is one of the main factors behind the ongoing Cost of Living Crisis in the UK, which, despite subsiding somewhat in 2024, is still impacting households going into 2025. In December 2024, for example, 56 percent of UK households reported their cost of living was increasing compared with the previous month, up from 45 percent in July, but far lower than at the height of the crisis in 2022. After global energy prices spiraled that year, the UK's energy price cap increased substantially. The cap, which limits what suppliers can charge consumers, reached 3,549 British pounds per year in October 2022, compared with 1,277 pounds a year earlier. Along with soaring food costs, high-energy bills have hit UK households hard, especially lower income ones that spend more of their earnings on housing costs. As a result of these factors, UK households experienced their biggest fall in living standards in decades in 2022/23. Global inflation crisis causes rapid surge in prices The UK's high inflation, and cost of living crisis in 2022 had its origins in the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the initial waves of the virus, global supply chains struggled to meet the renewed demand for goods and services. Food and energy prices, which were already high, increased further in 2022. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 brought an end to the era of cheap gas flowing to European markets from Russia. The war also disrupted global food markets, as both Russia and Ukraine are major exporters of cereal crops. As a result of these factors, inflation surged across Europe and in other parts of the world, but typically declined in 2023, and approached more usual levels by 2024.

In 2018, the estimated average inflation rate in Pakistan amounted to about 3.93 percent compared to the previous year, a slight drop from 2017, but an ever sharper one compared to four years earlier. Over the next few years, forecasts estimate it to level off at around 6.5 percent.

Pakistan‘s more or less fragile economy

Pakistan is one of the most populous countries in the worldwith a large Muslim population and a rather low urbanization rate, which means that the majority of Pakistanis live in rural areas. However, the majority of the country's GDP is generated by the services sector, which also employs most of the workforce. As of now, Pakistan’s economic growth seems stable, but that wasn’t always the case.

Stable growth ahead?

Like many others, Pakistan’s economy suffered during the 2009 financial crisis, and while it has recovered today, inflation was still over 10 percent in 2012. GDP slumped during that time as well, but now, ten years later, it has almost tripled and seems to be on an upward trend. Although its GDP generation now mainly relies on services, Pakistan still exports agricultural goods like cotton. However, the country still struggles with an increasing trade deficit and thus rising national debt – two factors that could hinder economic growth in the future.

Companies in the Surveying and Mapping Services industry have struggled with volatile downstream demand over the past few years. Demand for surveying services fluctuates in response to construction activity, as surveyors are a necessity for construction projects. Although demand for surveying services has risen in areas like heavy and civil engineering construction, as well as exploration, these gains haven’t been enough to counterbalance a drop in demand from residential building construction. Slow growth in the number of surveyors has constrained the market’s size, as more experienced surveyors are retiring while fewer young people are interested in pursuing surveying as a career. Overall, revenue is expected to have contracted at an annualised 3.9% over the five years through 2024-25 to $4.0 billion, including an anticipated plummet of 7.1% in 2024-25. Technological advancements in surveying and mapping services have influenced the industry’s performance. Cost-effective drone surveying technology with fast processing speeds has allowed some companies to provide value-added products that appeal to time-sensitive clients. However, some downstream clients with large capital resources have bypassed third-party surveying service providers, even though they can offer specialised services, and developed in-house surveying capabilities for cost efficiency, limiting surveyors’ pricing ability. Some large-scale surveyors have capitalised on a flurry of high-profile projects to build stronger reputations and expand their market share. Over the coming years, a recovery in key downstream sectors, including residential housing construction, as interest rates ease will improve the industry’s performance. As softening interest rates improve downstream conditions, surveyors working in construction markets will be in a better position to capitalise on improved downstream conditions. Investment in apartment and townhouse construction will also rally, driven by government efforts to solve housing supply shortages over the coming years. Industry revenue is projected to climb at an annualised 2.2% over the five years through 2029-30 to $4.1 billion.
