Retail spending is back with a vengeance, at least for now. This is evident in the traffic jam in the mall car parks, packed eateries and the long queues at even the Louis Vuitton outlet. However, is this sustainable especially in the face of slowing GDP growth this year and higher inflationary pressures. Competition is also heating up with new malls such as 118 Mall and TRX Mall. We speak to Dato' Philip Ho, CEO of Pavilion REIT on the return of China tourists, competition, its future injection pipeline and are REITs still relevant as an asset class.
