Ask a Partner: Asian REITs market - Hong Kong, Singapore & China

Just 3 months ago, Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission announced some key enhancements to the Hong Kong Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT) Code. There have been speculations as to how Hong Kong’s REIT market would recover from the pandemic; the world also has its eyes on China as it anticipates the establishment of a Chinese REITs market. How does the Hong Kong REITs market actually work? How will the REIT code enhancements help the city stay competitive? What can we expect as China rolls out its own REITs market? In this episode, Jeremy Ong, a Baker Mckenzie partner leading the firm’s Hong Kong REITs practice, shares with us his insights about the relevant developments.
