– The existence of stable and attractive local economic conditions is key. Steady economic growth, stable
inflation rates, low and stable interest rates, open and outward looking markets, with deep and enduring
economic linkages with the rest of the world are all important.

are important. In addition, favourable planning regulations and a good transport infrastructure are needed.

maintenance.
