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.

  4. Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea
    shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
    said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.”
    She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely
    off topic but I had to tell someone!

  5. I must thank you for the efforts you’ve put in writing this website.
    I really hope to see the same high-grade blog posts by
    you in the future as well. In truth, your creative writing abilities has inspired me to get my own, personal site now 😉

  6. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into
    starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to
    get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would
    cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% positive.
    Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

  7. Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask.

    Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog article or
    vice-versa? My blog discusses a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly
    benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to send me an e-mail.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog
    by the way!
