# APAC accounts for half of world's top 10 markets for improved real estate transparency - **Source:** Real Estate Asia - **Published:** 2026-10-11T22:00:00.000Z - **Author:** Staff Reporter - **Original:** https://realestateasia.com/commercial-other/news/apac-accounts-half-worlds-top-10-markets-improved-real-estate-transparency - **Topics:** Government & Policy, Transactions & Deals, Investment & Capital Markets ## Featured rationale Better data, governance and regulatory clarity may attract more cross-border and institutional capital, particularly into India, Vietnam and increasingly transparent alternative property sectors. ## AI summary APAC represented half of the world’s top 10 markets for improved real estate transparency, with India recording the strongest improvement globally. ## Original article India and Vietnam lead the region’s real estate transparency gains. Two-thirds of global real estate markets improved their transparency over the past two years, with Asia Pacific (APAC) and Middle East and North Africa (MENA) emerging as the strongest drivers of progress, according to JLL's 14th Global Real Estate Transparency Index (GRETI). JLL said rapid digitisation, stronger corporate governance and government-led reforms are helping markets such as India, Vietnam and South Korea narrow the transparency gap with established global hubs. India recorded the strongest improvement globally, supported by expanded digital infrastructure, better market data and the growth of its REIT market. Vietnam, South Korea, Australia and Thailand also recorded major gains. "Transparency is no longer just a benchmark for market maturity: it's a prerequisite for global capital deployment," said Richard Bloxam, CEO of Capital Markets at JLL. He said investors increasingly prioritise digital infrastructure, reliable data disclosure and regulatory clarity. JLL said cross-border investment into APAC has rebounded sharply, with direct transaction volumes in India and Vietnam reaching all-time highs. In MENA, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar were among the world's top improvers, supported by initiatives including Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and the Dubai Land Department's REST programme. The report also highlights the growing importance of alternative real estate. Data centres, manufacturing and infrastructure now account for 20% of global direct transaction volumes, double their share a decade ago. Investors are increasingly seeking transparency around operating costs, energy capacity and power resilience. Meanwhile, transaction volumes in the 13 "Highly Transparent" markets rose 64% over two years, 20 percentage points faster than the rest of the world. These markets represent 56% of global income-producing real estate and more than 80% of global direct investment. "As transparency in an alternative sector improves, that's often a leading indicator of growing institutionalisation and investment," said Dominic Silman, chief economist for LaSalle. JLL said the growing participation of private wealth, retail and pension capital is also increasing demand for standardised, higher-frequency reporting and greater valuation transparency. ## Chinese translation > Translation model: grok_cli ### 亚太占全球房地产透明度改善十大市场的半数 亚太占全球房地产透明度改善十大市场的半数 印度和越南领跑该地区房地产透明度提升。 据仲量联行第14期《全球房地产透明度指数》（GRETI）显示，过去两年全球三分之二的房地产市场透明度有所提升，亚太地区（APAC）以及中东和北非（MENA）成为最强劲的进步驱动力。 仲量联行表示，快速数字化、更强的公司治理以及政府主导的改革，正帮助印度、越南和韩国等市场缩小与成熟全球枢纽之间的透明度差距。 印度录得全球最显著改善，得益于数字基础设施扩展、市场数据改善以及房地产投资信托（REIT）市场的发展。越南、韩国、澳大利亚和泰国也录得重大进展。 仲量联行资本市场首席执行官Richard Bloxam表示：“透明度已不再仅仅是市场成熟度的衡量标准：它是全球资本配置的先决条件。”他说，投资者日益优先考虑数字基础设施、可靠的数据披露和监管清晰度。 仲量联行表示，流入亚太地区的跨境投资已大幅反弹，印度和越南的直接交易额创下历史新高。在中东和北非，沙特阿拉伯、迪拜、阿布扎比和卡塔尔跻身全球改善幅度最大的市场之列，受益于沙特阿拉伯“2030愿景”以及迪拜土地局REST计划等举措。 报告还凸显另类房地产日益重要。数据中心、制造业和基础设施目前占全球直接交易额的20%，为十年前份额的两倍。投资者日益寻求有关运营成本、能源容量和电力韧性的透明度。 与此同时，13个“高度透明”市场的交易额在两年内上升64%，比世界其他地区快20个百分点。这些市场占全球收益性房地产的56%，以及全球直接投资的80%以上。 LaSalle首席经济学家Dominic Silman表示：“当另类板块的透明度提升时，这往往是制度化和投资增长的领先指标。” 仲量联行表示，私人财富、零售及养老金资本日益参与，也在增加对标准化、更高频率报告以及更高估值透明度的需求。
