Asia Pacific markets are showing resilience and strategic growth despite global economic challenges, according to Colliers’ Global Capital Flows Report for September 2025. The report highlights Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong as leading global sources of cross-border capital, whilst Japan and Australia are top destinations, reflecting strong investor confidence in the region.
Colliers’ Managing Director in Singapore, Bastiaan VB, noted, “Singapore continues to demonstrate its dual strength as both a capital source and investment destination.” This sentiment is echoed by Akira Kuno, Executive Director & Head of Capital Markets in Japan, who stated, “Japan’s position among the top global capital sources and destinations highlights its enduring appeal to institutional investors.”
The report reveals that investment activity in Asia Pacific has surpassed 2024 levels by 5% year-to-date, with the region leading in land-led development. Seven of the top 10 global destinations for land and development are in Asia Pacific, including Singapore, China, and India, underscoring the region’s leadership in urban expansion.
Lucy Mallick, International Capital Lead at Colliers, commented on the strategic resilience of the region, noting, “With inflation easing and rate cuts across key markets, we expect capital flows to accelerate in the second half of 2025.”
The office sector remains a standout performer, with Asia Pacific and EMEA leading the global recovery in office investment activity. Meanwhile, the retail sector maintains strong trading levels, and data centre fundraising is gaining momentum due to increased demand for AI and digital infrastructure.
