Global Real Estate Transparency Index, 2024

Transparency in a time of transition

A transparency index score or ranking is no substitute for learning a market through direct experience, transactions, and on-the-ground observation. However, it can be an excellent starting point to see what to expect when venturing into different countries or cities for the first time. What we wrote in the 2020 edition still rings true: “Even though investors and occupiers cross international borders routinely, local real estate practices around the world remain quite diverse. The Transparency Index highlights this diversity and helps practitioners prepare for it.

Periods of change offer significant opportunity, but our industry will require greater collaboration between all stakeholders to drive better outcomes that meet this challenge. In times of transition, transparency is more important than ever in helping occupiers, investors, lenders and governments to navigate and make informed decisions. We trust that our 2024 edition provides an objective benchmark of real estate transparency that contributes to higher standards and healthier real estate markets and communities
