Asian Outbound Investment Reaching New Heights

Asian outbound investment in global commercial real estate is set to break records in 2016.

Research by CBRE Group shows that Asian investment in this sector reached almost USD27 billion in the first six months of 2016. 60 percent of this total came from Chinese investors and 52 percent was invested in U.S-based assets.

This overall trend reflects a remarkable shift in focus since 2009 with outbound investment increasing 10-fold since. In 2009, Asian outbound property investment totalled only USD4.9 billion and 80 percent of Asian capital outlay on real estate was invested domestically.

By 2015, these figures had reached USD47 billion with only 47 percent invested domestically.

As Asian economies flourish, this trend is expected to continue.
