YTL Corporation Awarded Malaysia's Best Real Estate Developer In Euromoney Real Estate AwardS 2015
Kuala Lumpur, September 17, 2015
YTL Corporation Berhad was rated as Malaysia’s Best Real Estate Developer (Overall) in Euromoney Real Estate Awards 2015. Euromoney magazine’s 11th annual Real Estate Survey canvassed the opinions of real estate advisers, developers, investment managers, corporate end-users and banks worldwide.
Euromoney Magazine, now in its 46th year of continuous coverage of the developments of the global capital markets, is the undisputed leading monthly magazine in the world of finance. The Euromoney Real Estate Survey was conducted from March 24th until June 1st 2015. A total of 1,754 valid responses were received representing a 10.6% increase on the 1,586 responses received in 2014.
The survey was filled in at country level by senior executives and had two distinct components: Part 1 (Nominations) and Part 2 (Market Feedback). In a change from the past, the survey results this year were based only on the peer nominations and voter participation scores (no quantitative data was analyzed).
In Part 1 of the survey respondents nominated the companies which they thought were best, second and third in each category in their country. Four, three and two points were respectively awarded to each of those nominations in that category and country. A small number of participation points were allocated to the respondent's own firm for nominations provided for their peers. Respondents provided their individual opinions rather than those of their company.
The overall category results were produced by aggregating the nominations points received and the participation points awarded for nominating peers.
In Part 2 of the survey respondents were asked to provide their views on the latest developments in the market. The responses to these questions were only of editorial interest and were not scored for the rankings.
