MAPLETREE Commercial Trust has declared a distribution per unit (DPU) of 0.91 Singapore cent for the fourth quarter ended March 31, down sharply from 2.31 Singapore cents in the year-ago period, despite a 10.5 per cent rise in distributable income.

This is in the interest of exercising prudence amid an uncertain Covid-19 situation, said the real estate investment trust's manager on Wednesday after market close.
