<li>The Singapore’s interest rate, 3M SORA, has declined steeply from 3.034% in January to 1.563% in September</li>
<li>The steep decline in interest rate will directly benefit S-REITs, through reduced borrow cost, more attractive valuation, as well as stabilizing cap rates to support book valuation</li>
<li>Among S-REITs, we think CICT SP, with its portfolio mostly Singapore assets, will benefit the most from this structural trend</li>
