Sigrid Zialcita, CEO of the Asia Pacific Real Estate Association, joins Michael Brooks on REALtalk to discuss the recovery experience from COVID-19 across Asia, the role of culture, the unique challenges of working from home in some parts of Asia, contact tracing applications, and the future of the Asian economies.
"Everyone is forecasting that Asia Pacific will be the first one to come out of the global recession... In places we have seen a recovery from the virus like China and Hong Kong.... we are talking about REITs, we are no longer talking about COVID. People have accepted the measures, and are making sure we follow them... The focus there is creating jobs, not saving jobs... We are confident that the best is yet to come in Asia."
