What Is The Prime Global Cities Index?

The Prime Global Cities Index (PGCI) is a valuation-based index, tracking the movement of prime residential prices across 44 cities worldwide using data from the consultancy's global research network. The index tracks nominal prices in local currency.

Shishir Baijal, chairman and managing director at Knight Frank India, said the strong demand trend for residential properties has been a global phenomenon, led by gateway markets of Asia-Pacific and EMEA.

"Like its peers in these regions, the improved rankings of Mumbai and New Delhi on the Prime Global Cities Index was underscored by the resilience in sales growth volume. We expect the momentum of sales to remain stable over the next few quarters as the economic conditions are likely to remain broadly unchanged," he said.
