Where the Money Goes. TOP 25 Cities For Investment
February 18, 2021
19
One of the strategies for finding a location for real estate investment is the analysis of economic prospects. If the region is able to attract international money, then it can gain new companies, new jobs and higher standard of living and incomes of citizens. And all this leads to the desired result: real estate becomes more expensive, and with it your capital grows.
The investment portal fDi Intelligence has published its own rating of Global Cities of the Future 2021/22, the most promising areas for investment and economic development. The main selection criteria are: economic potential and profitability, human capital and lifestyle, the level of business activity and strategies for attracting foreign direct investment.
1. Singapore
The most promising city in the rating relies on innovation.
Singapore is at the top of the ranking. The multinational city-state, which has made an economic breakthrough since the mid-20th century, which is called nothing less than a "miracle", continues to attract investors. Now the capital is flowing into the innovation sector. Research and development alone has attracted more than $ 210 million in foreign direct investment over the past five years. We should not forget about the general economic development, which allows local authorities to promote the ideology of digitalization and green economy. These issues are particularly relevant in the light of the recovery from the pandemic crisis.
The events of 2020 (which, however, continue to this day) affected the economic atmosphere of Singapore. Thus, experts noted a decrease in investment in real estate by more than 56%. But since the drop is due to external factors, in the future, with the lifting of restrictions and the gradual resumption of flights, we should expect a rebound.
2. London
Despite leaving the EU, London has attracted the most direct investment in the past five years.
The capital of the Foggy Albion is located in second place, but it wins in terms of the total volume of foreign direct investment: since 2015, $2.6 billion has been invested in the city. Among the reasons for the high position in the rating: the level of human development and world-famous universities. Even the final exit from the EU could not undermine the position of the metropolis.
Unfortunately, the coronavirus can negatively affect the results in the new year: the repeated termination of flights and the unstable situation with the morbidity hardly allows us to objectively assess the prospects. Property prices have been rising for a long time thanks to supportive measures from the government, but their impending cancellation may have a negative impact. Nevertheless, experts predict an increase in interest in investment visas.

Dubai's strategy has paid off well and made the city one of the most attractive for investors from all over the world
In 2014, the government formulated the growth strategy "Dubai Plan 2021", which aims to improve the urban environment so that it brings maximum benefits to economic development and the well-being of society, making the city attractive to people and businesses. Now we can say with confidence that the plan was successful, and the rating confirms this. Favorable tax policy and business attractiveness gradually turned the city into second Singapore.
The activity of local developers leads to an oversupply, which can negatively affect the market, reducing property prices. However, this situation can be potentially interesting for investors who prefer to take risks. The Dubai market is volatile, and successive periods of growth and decline allow you to earn money with a skillful approach.

One of the largest transport hubs in Europe is located takes little space
The fourth position is taken by Amsterdam - one of the main ports and trade hubs in Europe. Over the past five years, the city has attracted the largest volume of foreign direct investment per 100 thousand people. In addition, it has benefited from Brexit: the London Stock Exchange has launched a new center in Amsterdam to reassure European customers.
Last year, Amsterdam has been recognized by experts as one of the most promising areas for investment. And despite all the difficulties of the previous year, expats are generally satisfied: Amsterdam took second place in the category of the best places to work.
5. Dublin
Dublin has placed the most companies fleeing London from the effects of Brexit
The Irish city is literally breathing down the neck of the Dutch capital. The reasons are equally prosaic: Dublin has become the main beneficiary of moves from the British capital against the backdrop of Brexit. And the low corporate tax rate only adds weight to its attractiveness in the eyes of international investors.
Relative economic stability in turbulent times is obvious even to ordinary people: real estate buyers do not slow down and actively take out mortgages, which creates a shortage of housing and pushes up prices. The popularity among expats also helps, according to which Dublin is among the top ten cities to work in.
Rating Surprises
Two Polish cities are included in the TOP 25 at once. One of the reasons is that Poland has 14 special economic zones with low taxes and state support.
Interestingly, Warsaw, being the capital city, was five lines below Wroclaw. The latter was recognized as the best for investment among small and medium-sized cities. Last year, market experts shared with us the reasons for investing in Poland, including a strong economy, a significantly increased level of wages and an increase in demand for real estate. Wroclaw itself was also marked in 2019 as one of the fastest growing cities in Europe.
The capital city of Lithuania was also awarded a place in the rating, being on the 24th position. Vilnius has a stable real estate market with rising prices, where home sales increased by 8% over the past year. Rents are rising even faster in the face of a pandemic. And in the new year, Vilnius entered the top twenty cities for remote workers. All this makes the Lithuanian capital attractive and economically sustainable.
In general, the creators of the rating are positive about the near future and hope for the stabilization of the global economy in 2021 due to vaccination and adaptation of the tourism sector. With the greatest hope, they look to where the authorities are ready for the active development of modern technologies. Innovation will not only accelerate market processes, but also reduce the negative impact of human activities on the environment.
