Overseas buyers retain an optimistic view toward China and
India, with this year’s survey recording an increase in the percentage of
investors identifying these markets as their preferred cross-border investment
destination, according to CBRE’s “Asia Pacific Investor Intentions Survey
2019.”
CBRE advises investors in China to capitalize on weaker
sentiment among local investors and hunt for bargains. An anticipated
U.S.-China trade deal, which could be announced in first half 2019, is expected
to include an agreement to further open the Chinese economy to foreign
entities. This will have a positive impact on office and industrial property
demand and should also be conducive to investment, particularly in Shanghai,
which ranks as the most preferred city for cross-border investment.
