The REITs sector, well-known for its stable income and solid
dividend yield was not spared from Covid-19's economic fallout. As
the world's vaccination rate continues to improve and economies
gradually transition back to full reopening, we see some positive
signs for Global REITs over the coming years. Mohammad Hassan, Head
of Dividend Forecasting for APAC sits down with our analyst and
co-author of the REITs Outlook, Ralph Chen to find out more about
the trends we are witnessing and the prospects for dividend growth
for this sector going forward. To access the video, please click here
Key implications
• From the perspective of aggregate distributions, the Asia
Pacific real estate investment trusts (REITs) sector is expected to
grow at around 15% for fiscal year (FY) 2021 to US$10.4 billion and
remain stable in 2022.
• Retail REITs are expected to lead the momentum, with the
steepest growth in the aggregate amount of dividends, attributable
to the removal of mobility restrictions in Asia Pacific countries
and the return of footfalls to malls.
• Being resilient during the pandemic, industrial REITs are
expected to continue the growing trend in short term, with data
center and logistics REITs benefiting from the new trend brought
about by the pandemic.
• REITs from Australia and Singapore are expected to offer
higher yields in 2022 as compared with Hong Kong SAR and Japan, as
the REITs from these two markets dominate the top-10 dividend yield
REITs list in 2022.
