Global Perspective: Prime Cities Worldwide
On a global scale, Manila claimed the top spot in the Prime Global Cities Index with an astonishing 21.2% annual rise in prices. This remarkable performance can be attributed to strong domestic and foreign investments. Dubai, which held the top position for eight quarters, has been displaced due to a sharp decline in quarterly growth from 11.6% in Q2 to a mere 0.7% in Q3. On the other hand, San Francisco found itself as the weakest-performing market with a significant decline of 9.7% Year-on-Year.
