Singapore lagged HongKong in world's top investment locations list

Singapore ranking in Q2 jumped to 7th from 21st but it fared below tight rival HongKong.

Here's the latest ranking from Jones lang LaSalle:

London enhanced its position as the most attractive city in the world for cross-border investment. According to JLL, the 2012 Olympics host city garnered $10 billion of deals in H1, a 30% increase from the same 2011 period.

Paris registered twice as much cross-border investment in H1 compared to H1 2011, but trails well behind
London. New York is ranked third, although demand has decreased from foreign investors in 2012 as they
struggle to match the transaction pace of domestic investors and prime stock remains scarce.

London also maintained its status as the most active city, with Paris, New York, Tokyo and Hong Kong
cementing their claims as top five investment locations .

"Despite the economic worries in the UK and across Europe, London’s position as a deep, transparent well established property market in addition to it being the most liquid in the world makes it the most
popular city amongst investors," said JLL.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
