Global Market
The IMF published their ‘Fiscal Monitor’, a bi-annual report
of Global Markets.
The IMF directors acknowledge a broad-based recovery
of the global economy and anticipate further global
growth in the near term.
Some economies present a high reward, but high risk for investors. The UK continues with slow, steady growth of its economy, and remains low risk with attractive rewards.

Featured City : Birmingham
Our expert buyer on the
ground, says:
“Birmingham is a city with such a
buzz, being the UK’s second
biggest city. Its central location in
The Midlands makes it a big draw
with those relocating from London,
Birmingham now has the youngest
populace of any city in Europe and
the second highest student population in the UK. With its relatively
affordable housing prices and impressive capital appreciation
growth projections, it is an exciting time to be investing in
