Thailand: Low risk for investors

In new research focusing on office space in 42 emerging and frontier markets around the world, Thailand has been ranked as the 11th safest of the surveyed countries in terms of risk.

In the research, Cushman and Wakefield noted how emerging and frontier markets present unique and individual challenges for office occupiers and investors. The transparency of data and other information varies immensely, and issues such as a lack of information regarding property rights, government bureaucracy, and corruption increase the risk of entering these markets and often present compliance issues.

Cushman & Wakefield evaluated the risks of acquiring office space in the most sought-after emerging and frontier markets across the globe. To effectively analyse the unique risks these markets pose, its third edition of the Emerging and Frontier Markets survey provides overviews of office markets and relevant property indicators for 42 countries across the globe and collates this data into a “Risk Index”.

The Index has been calculated so that occupiers and investors can better compare the ease of acquiring and operating office space in each of these markets.

Key takeaways from the report, according to the authors, include:
