The resurgence of European transaction volumes was driven by its dominance in attracting global capital and by a strengthening domestic market. In 2013, global capital represented 27% (€48.9B) of total volume which is a peak level recorded by RCA during the period 2007-2013. Domestic capital has remained unchanged over the past year, at 57%, while continental capital has fallen from 21% of totals in 2012 to 16% during 2013.
Domestic investors became more significantly active in CEE, with Czech investors driving this increase.

UK domestic investors had a particular focus on the retail sector with 2013 activity increasing 131% on 2012 levels (from €1.6B to €3.7B).
