Event Summary

Tightening interest rates, demand-supply imbalances and growing concern of an economic slowdown are key headwinds impacting CRE loan origination. The Mortgage Bankers Association expects commercial and multifamily originations to decline by 18% in 2022 from 2021 levels.

As the credit cycle turns and origination volumes decline, CRE lenders would strive to accelerate customer acquisition, underwrite quality credits, improve portfolio risk governance and meet evolving regulatory guidelines.

They need to have a broader transformation strategy with a strong focus on innovation if they are to overcome such challenges. Can strategic partnerships with specialist firms accelerate this transformation of CRE lenders?

Acuity Knowledge Partners is delighted to bring together four senior industry leaders who will relate their success stories and share insights on how they have successfully managed transformation to navigate tough markets and persistent volatility. They will also discuss the challenges impacting the CRE market, their key business priorities and how to be future-ready.
