“2023 is turning into a pivotal year for real estate in the region. It is time to look beyond a year of ‘Permacrisis’ where wealth creation takes a turn this year,” Christine Li, Head of Research at Knight Frank Asia-Pacific, said.
“In 2023, 45% of Asia-Pacific HNWIs are forecasted to experience an increase in terms of wealth as compared to 25% in 2022. This optimism and confidence are driven by asset repricing, perceived value opportunities and an expected economic rebound in the Asia-Pacific region.”
