SBP’s regulatory-support for ‘Real Estate Investment Trusts’

Date:

Karachi, June 02, 2021: The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Wednesday announced favorable changes in the ‘Basel Capital Adequacy’ framework for the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).

These changes will allow banks to book greater exposure in REITs, facilitate the development of Housing Finance as well as Capital Market in the country.

REIT Management companies in Pakistan had submitted their recommendation to the State Bank earlier this year. Now, banks’ investment in REITs will require them to set aside less capital against risk emanating from this investment activity, which is being described as a positive development by the senior bankers.

Moreover, their investment in REITs shall now be categorized in the “Banking Book” instead of “Trading Book”.

REITs are a quintessential instrument for the government to achieve documentation, transparency and promote real estate development in the country. Effective participation by banking companies will support this structure and provide confidence to the market.

The REIT Management Companies are thankful to the SBP and consider this as an important milestone towards the development of REIT industry in Pakistan.

  1. Ahaa, its fastidious dialogue regarding this post here at this blog, I have
    read all that, so at this time me also commenting at this place.

  2. Contact the junk car buyer of your alternative and schedule it to be picked
    up and towed off. They are going to retain the proper knowledge and knowledge that can provide the very best returns for scrap metal and junk cars.
    In the event you would not have a title, never fear.
    Search for amenities and buyer conveniences as effectively; akin to free pickup and haul-away services, complimentary
    towing, free quotes, and so on. Most junk car buyers choose to make deals for vehicles with titles.
    With out the title, the junk car might be price much much
    less. When it is time to truly make the deal, be certain you have got
    the title to the automobile. You can still promote it to a purchaser;
    however you won’t earn as a lot cash. When they come to collect your junk car, you
    will gather your fee on the spot. Only a few will accept a junked car with out a title; and
    if they do, the return might be much less.
