Cities such as Hanoi (Vietnam), ranked 8, are characterised by low costs, rapid consumer market expansion and high levels of foreign direct investment (FDI). Identified as 'High Potential Cities,' these exhibit “among the most robust demographic and economic growth in the CMI. They also drive significant levels of FDI and commercial real estate construction,” JLL says. Some of the other cities in this category include Ho Chi Minh City (2) and Hanoi (8) in Vietnam, as well as East African technology hub Nairobi (10) in Kenya.
