There are growing signs that we may be approaching the bottom of a tough economic cycle. While volatility remains, several indicators suggest that conditions are becoming more favourable for investors and business owners alike.

Banks Are Lending Again

We're seeing increased willingness from banks to lend, with more attractive interest rates being offered across a range of loan products. This renewed appetite for lending is a positive signal for those considering expansion, acquisition, or refinancing.

Asset Prices Remain Low

At the same time, asset values across many sectors remain subdued. This combination of cheaper acquisition opportunities and accessible finance creates a unique window for strategic investment. For those with a long-term view, there may be bargains available that won’t last once the market begins to recover.

A Time to Re-Enter the Market?

While uncertainty still lingers, history shows that some of the best investment decisions are made during downturns. With lending conditions improving and asset prices yet to rebound, this could be an opportune moment to re-enter the market before valuations begin to rise.
