Singapore took the lead from China as the major source of Asian investment in global property markets last year, Colliers International revealed.

According to a report, capital flows from Singapore to global property markets reached US$18.0b, up by 3% YoY to account for 36% of the total (US$50.5b).

China was in second spot, accounting for 23% of the total Asia-to-global property investments, followed by South Korea which contributed to 15% the capital flows.

Meanwhile, the US remained the preferred global destination for Asian investors, making up 34% of the total Asia-to-global capital flows.

Colliers forecasts a 21% pick-up in Asia-to-global investment in 2019, to US$61.0b. However, London is still the no.1 target for Asian capital in Europe, so the total may depend heavily on the ongoing Brexit negotiations between the UK and the EU.
