JLL Study Shows Transparency Drives Real Estate Investment Growth
According to JLL's 2026 Global Real Estate Transparency Index, transparency is a key driver of real estate investment growth. Over the past two years, transaction volumes in highly transparent markets have increased by 64%, outpacing other regions and attracting $1.4 trillion in capital globally. Markets such as India, Vietnam, South Korea, Australia, Thailand, and others in Asia-Pacific are leading transparency improvements through digitization, government reforms, and enhanced data availability. The study highlights that alternative sectors like data centers and infrastructure now account for 20% of global real estate transaction volumes, with investors increasingly focusing on energy performance tracking. Over 90% of occupiers and investors use AI tools to improve transparency in decision-making processes. JLL's CEO emphasized the importance of digital infrastructure, regulatory clarity, and robust market data as prerequisites for attracting capital during uncertain economic conditions. The report also notes that while established markets still capture most global real estate investment, APAC and MENA regions are emerging as key contributors to improving transparency globally.
