    [SINGAPORE] The time is right for a shake-up in Singapore’s real estate investment trust, or S-Reit, market.

    Interest rates have likely peaked, giving S-Reits stability and more certainty on their future performance.

    The sector is also seeing a rebound as lower interest rates ease borrowing pressure on S-Reits. In the month to date ended Mar 20, the iEdge S-Reit Index recorded 4.8 per cent in price returns, outperforming the broader Strait Times Index’s 0.9 per cent.
