Singapore emerges top capital source from Asia-Pacific to the US, driven by M&A deals by GIC: Knight Frank

SINGAPORE – Singapore was the main source of investment capital from the Asia-Pacific flowing into North America in the first quarter, according to a report by Knight Frank on Wednesday.

The property consultancy firm noted that US$12.5 billion (S$16.7 billion) from here – largely in the form of mergers and acquisition deals by sovereign wealth fund GIC – was invested in the United States and Canada, which accounted for 90 per cent of the total Asia-Pacific capital inflow.
