This marks the highest proportion since 2022. The retail sector also saw increased investment, with $20 billion in foreign capital.

Global cross-border investment in real estate reached $112 billion in the first half of 2026, with the US and UK being the top destinations, and Spain attracting 6.5% of the total.
