Macroeconomic Conditions: The slowdown in Q2 2025 due to tariffs and macroeconomic conditions has impacted transaction activity, creating uncertainty for construction projects and business activity.
Global Tariffs: Uncertainty around tariffs has led to a decrease in transaction activity as lenders and borrowers analyze potential impacts on construction projects and business operations.
