Knight Frank takes a look at some of the ‘big picture’ issues impacting owners and users of real estate in the Asia-Pacific region for the upcoming year.

Global inflation in 2022 is at its highest since 1996. As most central banks in Asia-Pacific turn the screws on monetary policies to stave off inflation, growth will inevitably slow in the coming year. As monetary authorities are compelled to keep pace with the Fed's hiking cycle in addition to walking the tightrope between growth and inflation, the region's interest rates in 2023 will approach multi-year highs. 

Despite these ongoing stressors, Asia-Pacific is set to remain the world's fastest-growing region in 2023. Even as growth momentum continues to normalise across much of the region, domestic-oriented economies such as emerging Southeast Asia and India are forecast to remain supportive of overall regional growth in the upcoming year. 

As such, Knight Frank expects to see real estate markets in the region weather a period of transition as occupiers and investors review their strategies in a rapidly evolving environment.

At a time when many mature economies are reaching peak carbon, emissions in Asia Pacific remain on an upward trajectory as the region continues along a path of rapid urbanisation and economic growth.

Asia Pacific accounted for 53% of global carbon emissions in 2021, and has been responsible for more than 80% of global growth in carbon emissions over the past decade.

To improve transparency around the role that cites and the built environment play in carbon emission reduction, CBRE has developed the Asia Pacific Sustainable City Ranking, which measures current and future environmental resilience and its impact on commercial real estate across 28 cities in the region.

Cities are evaluated according to a range of environmental factors including greenhouse gas emission reduction, physical climate risk, water stress, air pollution, renewable energy use, green bond issuance, and green office building adoption.
