REITs Fuel Asian Market

According to Inodesian National News Agency, Antara News, a new analysis of the Hong Kong marketplace reports that the structured finance market in Asia is gaining momentum from an increase in real estate investment trusts (REITs).

According to a recent Standard & Poor's report, the total market value of REITs across Asia, including Australia, recently exceeded the USD$100 Billion mark.  While rising interest rates in the region may slow down some of the short term growth, the S&P report predicted that more favorable regulatory frameworks, strong economic growth and continuing improvements in property markets will encourage the formation of more REITs this year.
