ORANGE COUNTY, CA PAGE: 22 I. SAN FRANCISCO, CA PAGE: 24 J. WASHINGTON, DC PAGE: 26 K. WILMINGTON, DE PAGE: 28 MARKET SUMMARY AND ACTION STEPS III PAGE: 30 KEY FINDINGS The financial services sector has adapted its office-space usage in ways that are consistent with many office-using industries. However, its relationship to real estate has changed as a result of its role within the broader economy. In particular, four major causes have spurred a reduction in gross leasing activity by financial services firms: increased government regulation following the Great Recession of 2007-2009, cost reduction, efficient space utilization, and the emergence of the financial technology (fintech) sector. While demand for office space among financial services tenants has edged down recently overall, industry demand is inconsistent among major metros. For example, leasing increased for financial services tenants in San Francisco from 10% of all leasing activity in 2015 to 20% in 2016, while leasing among tenants in New York City declined from 32% to 20% over the same time period. Leasing trends within the financial services industry correlate with: the types of institutions involved, environments with policies and incentives that are conducive to doing business, the scale of operations and access to a highly-skilled talent pool, a shift from some urban to suburban locations, and a desire for new construction.

  • Three Episodes of Financial Fragility in Norway Since the 1890S by Karsten R Gerdrup*
    BIS Working Papers No 142 Three episodes of financial fragility in Norway since the 1890s by Karsten R Gerdrup* Monetary and Economic Department October 2003 * Central Bank of Norway (Norges Bank) BIS Working Papers are written by members of the Monetary and Economic Department of the Bank for International Settlements, and from time to time by other economists, and are published by the Bank. The views expressed in them are those of their authors and not necessarily the views of the BIS. Copies of publications are available from: Bank for International Settlements Press & Communications CH-4002 Basel, Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] Fax: +41 61 280 9100 and +41 61 280 8100 This publication is available on the BIS website (www.bis.org). © Bank for International Settlements 2002. All rights reserved. Brief excerpts may be reproduced or translated provided the source is cited. ISSN 1020-0959 (print) ISSN 1682-7678 (online) Abstract This paper provides for the first time a comparative study of three major banking crises in Norway (1899-1905, 1920-28 and 1988-92), and presents financial and macroeconomic data spanning more than 130 years. Financial sector development appears to be closely linked to booms and busts in economic activity during these years. The boom periods that preceded each of the three crises all have some common features: they were characterised by significant bank expansion, considerable asset price inflation and increased indebtedness. The non-financial sector increased its debt only slightly more than its income during the first two boom periods, but subsequent deflation increased its debt burden.
