    SINGAPORE-LISTED real estate investment trusts (S-Reits) endured quite a roller-coaster year in 2024.

    What began as an optimistic year for the Reit sector, fuelled by hopes of interest rate cuts, shifted to one of uncertainty, due to concerns about a potential slowdown in rate cuts under the incoming Donald Trump administration in the US.
