ResearchThe German Real Estate Finance Index (DIFI) has a reading of 29.7 points in the second quarter of 2015, the second highest value since the survey was launched in 2011.

The German Real Estate Finance Index (DIFI)
The German Real Estate Finance Index (DIFI) reflects survey participants’ assessments of the current situation (past six months) in and expectations (coming six months) for the German real estate finance markets. It is produced quarterly and is calculated on the basis of an average of the results for the office, retail, logistics and residential real estate market segments. These figures reflect the percentage of positive and negative responses received from survey participants relating to the current situation in and financing expectations for the German real estate market. The DIFI is produced and published in cooperation by the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) and JLL.
