Video: PwC Partner Mitch Roschelle Discusses Tariffs and Commercial Real Estate

Mitch Roschelle, Partner and NY Metro Business Development Leader with PwC, joins America’s Commercial Real Estate Show to talk about the potential impact tariffs could have on our economy and the commercial real estate industry. In this episode, he quickly adjusts the conversation to talk about the economy, and potential effects of tariffs and anti-trade rhetoric and policy on it, and in turn on commercial real estate. He comments that although our economy is not immune to negative trends in economies around the world, the U.S. consumer has to date been unaffected, thus the economy has been able to hold up to this point. He talks about negative GDP growth with major trading partners like Germany and a massive slowdown in China. He notes that it is not as much the tariffs that have been hurting the economy to date as it is the uncertainty around them.
