The performance improvement in this quarter mainly comes from a higher contribution from The Starhill in Malaysia after the completion of AEI in December 2021. With the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions as well as border re-opening in Singapore, Malaysia and Australia, SGREIT performance is expected to be improved moving forward.
