Japan led with a 20% YoY increase to USD 13.7 billion, its highest first-quarter volume in five years. The office sector dominated, driven by rising rents in Tokyo and Osaka. South Korea followed with USD 6.8 billion, up 58% YoY, due to declining debt costs and growing office rents. Australia registered USD 3.9 billion, a 30% YoY increase, supported by the RBA's rate cut.
The performance across other APAC markets reflected diverse economic conditions and investor sentiments. Singapore rose 16% YoY to USD 2.2 billion, focusing on higher-yielding assets. India surged 219% YoY to USD 1.3 billion, driven by REIT activity and warehousing sector interest. Hong Kong increased 49% YoY to USD 1.1 billion, rebounding from a low base. However, China continues facing challenges, dropping 33% YoY to USD 3.8 billion, with domestic insurers and private capital offsetting cautious foreign investment.
