Abstract

The effective functioning of commercial property markets is influenced by a wide range of local and global factors. To explore these inter-relationships and linkages, 54 countries are assessed in terms of their property market transparency and their global competitiveness across a wide range of parameters, including economic, institutional, infrastructure, environmental and technology factors. This analysis is at a regional property market level and property market maturity level. Quantitative measures of these inter-relationships are assessed to provide insights regarding these linkages with the transparency of these global commercial property markets.
