Singapore has been identified as a major player in global capital flows within the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, according to Colliers’ latest Global Capital Flows report for March 2025. The report underscores Singapore’s position as the second most attractive cross-border destination for land and development sites, trailing only China, with nearly $1.5 billion invested over the past year.
Despite a 5.7% decline in capital outflow share in the second half of 2024, Singapore maintained its status as the fourth strongest source of capital flow to other countries. Bastiaan van Beijsterveldt, Managing Director of Colliers Singapore, remarked, “Singapore’s strategic positioning and robust investment appeal have solidified its status as a global capital hub.”
The report also highlights the broader APAC region’s investment appeal, with six sectors, including office and industrial, attracting $183 billion over the past 24 months. Chris Pilgrim, Managing Director of Global Capital Markets for Colliers Asia Pacific, noted, “With significant capital flowing into key real estate sectors such as office, industrial, and retail, the region continues to lead in cross-border investment.”
Asia Pacific’s dominance in global cross-border capital flows is further evidenced by its seven out of the top 10 destinations for land and development sites globally. As 2025 progresses, the region is expected to benefit from an expansion in global cross-border activity, particularly with the strength of the US dollar.
