The 2020 Global Real Estate Transparency Index, published by JLL and LaSalle, assesses the level of transparency in the real estate industry across 99 countries and territories. The report highlights the need for transparency and trust in the current economic and societal disruption caused by COVID-19. While progress is being made in improving real estate transparency globally, it is not fast enough to meet the demands for higher ethical standards and sustainable investment and operation. The report suggests that the mass adoption of technology and advancements in data availability and sensor technology will accelerate the integration of proptech and boost real estate transparency. However, the industry must also ensure that privacy and security are protected by ethical behavior. The report also emphasizes the imperative to tackle climate change and build a sustainable future.
