Author's Opinion

In comparison to the previous half-yearly report, the distributable income has slightly decreased due to higher finance costs and tax expenses, despite a rise in gross revenue and NPI. Nevertheless, the occupancy rate remains stable, and the rental reversion remains strong. From the presentation, CEREIT plans to selectively divest non-strategic assets over the next 2 to 3 years to fund developments and offset potential pressure on LTV.

    The office is not a good place to invest as more people would like to WFH in EU.
