Shanghai: the room brimmed with many of China’s biggest real estate names.
APREA’s December REIT symposium drew a VIP crowd keen to discuss the road map for Chinese real estate securitisation in 2019.
The symposium followed APREA’s most recent discussions with senior regulators and policy-makers in Beijing, along with a seminar held with the People’s Bank Finance Centre, Tsinghua University and CRECC/C-REITs Alliance.
Our friends from NAREIT, John Worth and Bonnie Gottlieb, opened the Shanghai symposium with a run-down on REIT trends, performance and prospects in the USA.
NAREIT also updated us on pivotal work championed by REESA - the global REITs alliance, including plans for a first-ever conclave of (nearly) 40 REIT nations in 2020.
