The CIS covers a broad spectrum of diverse economic progress and prospects. CA Immo International‘s involvement here will concentrate on the Russian and Ukrainian markets, which are therefore the only two whose general conditions are analysed. Russia in particular is a motor for growth, with an exceptionally fast-growing GDP that is set to remain at over 9% per year. Ukraine offers similarly favourable conditions, but is highly dependent on Russia for its energy supply. This makes it subject to uncontrollable political trends.
