More S-Reits could be at risk of suspending distributions
THE high interest rate environment has been punishing for locally-listed real estate investment trusts (S-Reits) amid rising finance costs, and valuations also coming under pressure
As at the latest financial results for the financial period ended Dec 2023, six of the 40 S-Reits and property trusts have partly or fully halted distributions to unitholders, amid worsening balance sheet metrics.
Analysts are divided over whether more players are at risk of a similar situation in the coming months.
