Overseas property buying appetite boosted by SGD’s strength versus other currencies

Australia, Europe and Japan are key investment markets.

Singaporean investors are more keen to snap up overseas properties following the Singapore dollar’s appreciation against Australian Dollar, Euro and Yen.

According to Colliers, local investors are likely to snap up more properties in Australia, Europe and Japan as there is a lack of attractive properties at home.

“Singapore investors will likely be buying an income-producing asset in a key gateway city that has a net yield of around five per cent, with tenancies for as long as they can get. This serves as bond-like investment instrument for them,” said Terence Tang, Managing Director of Capital Markets & Investment Services--Asia at Colliers International.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
