German Commercial Property Prices Begin Year with Positive Gains
FRANKFURT (Reuters) -German commercial property prices rose 2.3% in the first quarter, the VDP banking association said on Monday, marking a second consecutive quarter of modest gains after years of declines.

"The price trend at the start of the year is positive, but should not be overrated," said VDP Chief Executive Jens Tolckmitt.
