Positive Economic Environment for REITs

The operating environment for U.S.-listed REITs is expected to remain generally positive, with projected GDP growth around 2% for the coming year. Job creation is anticipated to be moderate, with monthly estimates of 100,000 to 150,000 positions. Additionally, there are signs of increasing disposable income, which is likely to benefit sectors of high-quality real estate that REITs typically own. The pent-up demand for spending and investment could further enhance the performance of these properties.
