Market Outlook

▪ Uncertainties surrounding US-China trade negotiations and Brexit have clouded the global economic outlook.

▪ Singapore’s economy grew 3.3% in 2018 and is expected to grow by 1.5% to 3.5% in 2019 (MTI).

• Businesses remain cautious and continue to review their space requirements amid theuncertain economic outlook.

▪ Australia’s economy is forecast to grow by 3.0% in 2018 and 2.7% in 2019(Bloomberg).

• Weaker outlook of global economies, especially China, may pose headwinds for Australia.Stable performance of the portfolio is underpinned by the long WALE of 4.5 years andaverage annual rent escalations of approximately 3% per annum.

▪ UK’s economy is forecast to grow by 1.3% in 2018 and 1.5% in 2019 (source:Bloomberg).

• Ascendas Reit’s UK portfolio has strong attributes such as the long WALE of 11.3 years,good quality tenants, and the domestic nature of the tenants’ logistics business. Theseattributes will stand Ascendas Reit in good stead to overcome any potential impact arisingfrom Brexit.
