“The strong demand trend for residential properties has been a global phenomenon, led by gateway markets of Asia-Pacific and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa),” said Shishir Baijal, CMD, Knight Frank India.

“Like its peers in these regions, the improved rankings of Mumbai and New Delhi on the Prime Global Cities Index was underscored by the resilience in sales growth volume.

Manila, the capital city of Philippines, claimed the top spot in the ranking with a 26.2% annual rise in prices. The growth, as per the Knight Frank report, can be attributed to two key factors: purchasing power, and substantial infrastructure investments within and around the city.

Tokyo in Japan jumped 17% up with 12.5% yearly price growth and ranked 2nd in the index. Despite Japan’s overall population decline, Tokyo sustains a net population growth owing to migration from other regions within the country.
