BLACKROCK, the world's biggest asset manager, plans to buy as much as 2.5 billion euros (S$3.8 billion) of continental European properties over three years - more than doubling its pace of investment - as its clients seek to take advantage of a weak euro.

"The devaluation of the euro is clearly an interesting play for them."
