Singapore to remain major real estate investor on the world stage
Chinese real estate market has attracted 24% of all cross-border investments from Singapore since 2009.
SINGAPORE is a wealthy country with an abundance of investment capital and a limited domestic investment universe. As a result, Singapore-based investors are one of the most active sources of outbound capital globally, targeting the world's most liquid real estate markets.
Since the end of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2008, Singaporean investors have exported S$154.4 billion, according to data compiled by Real Capital Analytics (RCA). Although activity has slowed more recently, Singapore ranks as the fourth most active cross-border property investor globally over this period.
US buyers are the most active, investing US$305.2 billion of capital internationally, followed by Hong Kong (US$213.5 billion) and Canada (US$146.6 billion). This is remarkably strong activity for the island-nation, given the size of its economy and population.
