Deal volume in Germany rose 31% in H1 this year to €17.1 bn, delegates at PropertyEU's Germany Investment Briefing have learned.

Some 44% of the investment came from overseas, with the US the largest investor nation outside Germany, spending just over €2.5 bn, according to figures from Colliers International.

'In H1 in Germany we saw investment of €17 bn and expect it to come up to €35 or €36 bn for the year. That could change dramatically with some big investments we have in the market, especially in cities like Franfurt,' said Thomas Dörschel, a director with Colliers International.
