COUNTRY FOCUS: PHILIPPINES

Reckoned as an extremely lucrative investment product, the REIT market was valued at about $68.33 billion in Asian capital markets and at $604 billion globally back in 2008, the time when the Philippine Congress was still discussing the passage and future of the REIT.


The REIT industry across the world has continued growing since the passing of REIT law in the Philippines. In June 2014, the industry was estimated to be valued at about $140 billion in Asia and $1.4 trillion cumulatively in all parts of the world.


To date, the Philippine REIT industry has not made great strides. Several blue-chip real estate companies have shown their interest and even established REIT management companies, but those have been put on hold due to a couple of obstacles.


However, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the Philippines is now taking significant measures to jumpstart the REIT industry once again and attract potential investors and REIT issuers by relaxing stringent regulatory conditions and placing a proposal to the Department of Finance (DoF) to reduce the minimum public ownership (MPO) requirement for REIT from 67% to 33%. SEC has also requested DoF to review and reduce corporate taxes on capital markets including stock transaction tax and initial public offering (IPO) tax.

As a result of these recent REIT developments, PCM Asia and Pinnacle Group in collaboration with the Asia Pacific Real Estate Association, will host the 3RD APAC REIT INVESTMENT SUMMIT 2019.


Aptly themed REIT: BLUEPRINT FOR A ROBUST PHILIPPINE CAPITAL MARKETS, the 3RD APAC REIT INVESTMENT SUMMIT 2019 is set to take center stage on 18 June 2019 at The Tent at Solaire in Manila, Philippines to provide its delegates from the most prominent companies operating in the real estate sphere a day of knowledge sharing and unparalleled networking and investment opportunities.


With an expected turnout of over 200 industry professionals, the 3RD APAC REIT INVESTMENT SUMMIT 2019 – designed to be the country’s premier business gathering for chief property experts and players from across the region – is committed to deliver thought leadership and high quality audience making this landmark event a superb platform to:

  • CONNECT with potential investors
  • ESTABLISH business partnerships
  • GATHER latest market insights
  • LEARN from industry leaders and think tanks 

The 3RD APAC REIT INVESTMENT SUMMIT 2019

 features executive keynote presentations, in-depth 

panel discussions and excellent networking opportunities in a setting which will provide a regional

DoF wants assurances REIT gains will be reinvested

The Department of Finance (DoF) will not implement the Real Estate  Investment Trust (REIT) until it obtains assurances that gains realized  from such schemes will be reinvested in the Philippines.

“How can we implement the REIT program if we’re not sure that the  money will be reinvested here. They might buy dollars and buy property  in the US and I’m sure many guys want to do that,” Finance Secretary  Carlos G. Dominguez III told BusinessWorld.
