According to JLL’s most recent Transparency Index, Germany was ranked twelfth among 102 countries. This was the same as it achieved two years ago, having fallen out of the top group (“very transparent”), but when the evaluation criteria were expanded. Germany’s failing is primarily in the area of property company shares, writes JLL.
But JLL’s eighth Global Real Estate Transparency Index suggests continued progress in the transparency of commercial real estate around the world with more than 80 percent of markets showing improvement since 2012. The companies claims that improved transparency tends to be associated with a surge in foreign direct investment and corporate occupier activity. The most transparent market, according to JLL, is the UK, followed by the USA.
