  "summary": "Southeast Asian investors have become the largest non-local buyers of Hong Kong commercial property, accounting for more than 11% of the total value of commercial property deals above HK$50 million in the city so far this year, according to Savills. The investors, primarily from Singapore, contributed HK$3.37 billion to the HK$30.36 billion in transactions, surpassing mainland Chinese investors who contributed HK$1.75 billion. The share of Southeast Asian investors has risen against a much smaller non-local pool, making up roughly two-thirds of all non-local investment this year.",
