The world’s population is growing at an unprecedented rate. An additional three billion people will need housing in the next 25 years.

Over that same period, the global middle class will increase to nearly five billion people. Add to the fact that interest rates are always in motion. We believe institutions, businesses and individuals will turn to organisations such as Briksmith to help manage their risk and navigate fluctuating borrowing costs.

That in turn, will enable lenders and property developers to keep pace with population growth. This is how the property finance industry will find new solutions that will make shelter more accessible around the world.
