The pandemic prompted a major evolution in how Americans think about where and how to work. However, the rise of hybrid and remote options, coupled with higher interest rates, triggered a hollowing-out of the commercial real estate market, especially for office space. Empty physical workplaces and higher-for-longer interest rates are causing a cascade of defaults and the possibility of significant losses for financial companies.

Will the troubles faced by banks, the largest holders of CRE debt, from the unfolding crisis spill over into financial markets and dampen US economic growth? Will it lead to bank failures and regional banking deserts?

Learn the answers to these questions and more as we discuss the Future of Commercial Real Estate.

During this session, you'll:

• Understand the challenges facing the US commercial real estate (CRE) sector and implications for financial markets and the economy.
