DBS: Suburban malls 'safer bet' than Orchard Rd malls
Singapore
DBS Group Research on Monday called malls with suburban characteristics a "safer bet" when compared to tourist-focused Orchard Road malls - which will likely lag and not return to optimal capacity given the lack of tourists in the near term.
However, a surprise may come from more office workers returning to offices by end-2020, said DBS analyst Derek Tan in a research note.
