The Telegraph reports:

“House prices in Hong Kong have risen at the fastest pace of any country in the world over the 12 months to March, according to a new global study.”

“Despite a raft of different cooling measures introduced by the Hong Kong Government since February 2013, prices rose by 19pc over the period due to a chronic shortage of homes.”

“Property values in Turkey accelerated by 18.6pc, the second biggest climber in the ranking, followed Ireland where house prices grew 16.8pc.”
