The accumulation of private wealth has rocketed in China in the decade following the global financial crisis, thanks to a strengthening economy and successful stimulus programmes. Juwai CEO and Director Carrier Law says countries in Southeast Asia have been gaining Chinese buyer market share at unprecedented rates. In Thailand, for example, the number of inquiries from Chinese buyers looking to buy homes increased by 91 percent between January 2017 and January 2018. When compared to the same period in 2016, that increase goes up even further – to a staggering 313 percent, reports Asian Correspondent (13 November 2018).
