  • Real Estate Investment Leads Sri Lanka's Remarkable Transformation
    REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT LEADS SRI LANKA’S REMARKABLE TRANSFORMATION September 2018: The Asia Pacific region has emerged as the best real estate investment destination globally, registering the highest year-on-year investment growth of 29% (H1 2018 vs H1 2017) against 9% in the Americas and EMEA regions (Source: JLL Research Report “Global Capital Flows”, Q2 2018). Within this region, Sri Lanka is a shining example of a thriving emerging market. The ‘Pearl of the Indian Ocean’, Sri Lanka is experiencing a surge in real estate investment following a steady period of impressive economic growth over the past decade. A vibrant democracy, political stability, a transparent and robust legal system based on the canons of the Laws of England, freedom for foreigners to invest, a transparent regulatory regime for free capital movements, a relatively benign tax environment, a peaceful South Asian region and an economy getting into a sustained growth all combine to put the spotlight on this island one of the top opportunities for real estate investments in emerging Asian economies. Extensive government investment and private consumption has helped deliver an impressive GDP growth of 4.5% according to World Bank estimates. Sri Lanka’s capital city, Colombo, is one of the region’s fastest-growing commercial hubs. Located at the centre of major shipping routes connecting South Asia and the Far East with Europe, Africa and America, it enjoys enormous strategic importance and today the city is a base for numerous businesses and government institutions. Additionally, strong air connectivity and popularity for tourists have provided a solid foundation for the country’s transformation.
