We’ve just released the findings of our 2012 Global Real Estate Transparency Survey. In this survey, we examine real estate transparency levels in about 100 markets worldwide. The transparency score for each market is based on results for 5 different categories – real estate performance measurement, availability of data on market fundamentals, governance of listed vehicles, regulatory and legal frameworks, and the transaction process.
In the Asia Pacific region, we analysed real estate transparency for 16 markets: Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Macau, Malaysia, Mongolia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
