Opportunities in the New Malaysia

Over the last 13 years, M-REITs have become a significant component of the listed capital with a CAGR of 40% since its inception to March 2019, from less than RM 500 million to RM44 billion markets . Malaysia’s REIT industry has, since, provided investment diversification, and its stakeholders income stability, inflation protection, delivering long-term performance and lower risk and volatility. M-REITs saw a landmark development with the launch of the Bursa Malaysia REIT Index in October 2017, increasing the visibility of M-REITs in the capital market.

The Agenda

As Malaysia stays on track to move the nation towards becoming a high-income economy, the growth of Malaysia’s middle-class will continue to fuel demand for all real estate classes. Capitalizing on global mega trends, such as e-commerce, industry 4.0, digitalization, healthcare, education amongst others, REITs are poised to benefit from these trends.

In this scenario, REITs will continue to serve as a tool to power growth and satiate the demand for new real estate in Malaysia. As a socio-economic development engine, REITs will be one of the key drivers to sustain prosperity and progress for the country by:

  • attracting new flows of foreign direct investments into Malaysia.
  • monetizing and raising capital for real estate and infrastructure development.
  • generating stable returns for sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and insurance companies, institutional funds and retail investors
  • enabling Malaysians to own a share of quality real estate, thus empowering wealth creation.
  • increasing job creation, elevating living standards, and upgrading expertise in the real estate industry.

supporting the fostering of innovation in emerging real estate sub-sectors capitalizing on global mega trends

The inaugural MALAYSIA REIT FORUM 2019 – OPPORTUNITIES IN THE NEW MALAYSIA aligns with the Malaysian Government’s agenda to raise new capital through monetizing assets to strengthen the Government’s balance sheet in order to improve the prosperity of the nation and establishing a sustainable future. The Government’s recent proposed stake divestment of its airport assets into a REIT structure is the first in the world and heralds a new direction for growing and enhancing the visibility of M-REITs globally.

The forum will focus on the benefits and strategies of realizing the value of public sector/ government assets through a REIT, explore the latest developments in the Malaysia REIT market, and uncover the potential of REITs as efficient vehicles for nation building, while at the same time delivering wealth creation for Malaysians and get inspired by innovative ideas to propel future growth of the industry, having an overview of the Asia REIT landscape and finding out what’s in store for 2019 and beyond from a distinguished panel of speakers.
