Goh Toh Sim, the REIT manager’s executive director and CEO, explains the gain came from a more favaourable exchange rate of rental collected in RMB but booked in Singdollar. The REIT managed to achieve higher rental rates too.

“We remain prudent in our capital management with the retention of 5% of total amount available for distribution in 3QFY2021 for withholding tax payment upon future profit repatriation,” adds Goh.

On May 17, the REIT’s manager said it has been approached by Forchn International for a potential offer for all its properties.
