Singapore’s real estate to outperform in cross-border investments

Knight Frank expects Singapore to account for 11% of cross-border capital trade in 2024.

Cross-border investments accounted for 48% of Singapore’s real estate investment volume in H1 2024, surpassing the 10-year average of 43%.

In Q2 2024 alone, Singapore saw a 63.8% YoY increase in its overall investment activity, with total cross-border volume amounting to US$756.8m.

Knight Frank noted that Singapore continued to “demonstrate healthy appeal to global capital” despite a general retreat from domestic and international investors.

The expert predicts Singapore to be among the top three markets for cross-border capital, behind Australia and Japan, and will account for 11% of trade for the full year.

Additionally, Knight Frank predicts that Singapore will receive 15% more volume from the office market and see heightened activity in the industrial sector, surpassing the long-term average, similar to the peaks of 2017/2018.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
