Hanoi was ranked third while HCM City was ranked eighth, making
Vietnam the strongest performer with two cities ranking the highest in ASEAN,
said JLL.
In its report, JLL said that the two
cities in Vietnam performed very well for socio-economic momentum, with
fast-growing populations and economies.
"HCM City is generally viewed as
the more business-friendly destination attracting more overseas investment
along with a higher corporate presence, whereas Hanoi has lagged commercially
but is a city that is swiftly evolving."
On the real estate front, Vietnam has
"a small real estate investment market struggling with issues such as low
transparency and a limited volume of investment grade stock," JLL added.
However, steps are being taken to
improve transparency, such as enhanced access to the land registry, better
valuation practices and increasing application of green building certification
system, it said.
Two other ASEAN countries also made the
top 20 list in JLL’s index. The Philippines was represented by Manila in 12th
place and Thailand by Bangkok in 18th place.
According to JLL, the City Momentum
Index looks at 20 indicators including recent percentage changes in city GDP,
population, air passengers and corporate headquarters presence; projected
percentage changes in GDP, population and retail sales; and recent levels of
and changes in foreign direct investment, as a proportion of a city’s economy.
Other were recent and projected percentage
changes in office net absorption, office rents, retail rents and hotel rooms;
international retailer presence; and recent changes in direct commercial real
estate investment volumes and real estate transparency.
