DUBAI: The value of Middle East investments in real estate outside the region surged 64 percent to $11.5 billion in the first half of 2015, although two deals by sovereign funds accounted for nearly half this year鈥檚 total, consultants CBRE say.
The splurge came despite a 44 percent drop in USlight crude oil prices in the 12 months to June 30.
The CBRE said sovereign wealth funds accounted for $8.3 billion of the spending in the first six months of this year 鈥� almost quadruple their outlay of $2.27 billion in the prior-year period.
鈥淭he size of the region鈥檚 foreign investment makes the Middle East the third-largest source of cross regional capital globally as Arab investors look for brighter investment prospects internationally,鈥� Nick Maclean, CBRE Middle East managing director, said in the statement.
This year鈥檚 spending includes Qatar鈥檚 $2.5 billion investment in Maybourne Hotels and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority鈥檚 (ADIA) $2.4 billion purchase of a 50 percent stake in three Hong Kong hotels.
These deals helped make London, with $2.75 billion, and Hong Kong, with $2.4 billion, the top destinations for Middle Eastern property investors. New York was third with $1.1 billion and Milan鈥檚 $990 million placed it fourth.
In terms of sectors, hotel investments rose 437 percent to $6.75 billion 鈥� or 59 percent of total Middle East spending 鈥� while office acquisitions fell by nearly half to $1.99 billion and retail purchases dropped 40 percent to $708 million.
Other buys, which include residential property, jumped 144 percent to $1.66 billion.
鈥淗otels (are) growing in importance as sovereign wealth funds and high-net-worth individuals focus on real assets that generate long-term revenue,鈥� said Iryna Pylypchuk of CBRE Global Research.
Property purchases by non-sovereign wealth funds fell to $3.2 billion in the first half of 2015, from $4.7 billion a year earlier, according to Reuters calculations based on CBRE data.
