Real estate investments in Malaysia impacted by inflation and industrial production.
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) in Malaysia are influenced by inflation and industrial production. Researchers studied REITs listed on Bursa Malaysia from 1998 to 2006, analyzing 108 monthly stock prices, consumer price index, and industrial production index. Previous studies suggest a positive relationship between REIT returns and inflation and industrial production, while others suggest a negative relationship. This research provides insights for future studies on how REIT returns are affected by macroeconomic factors like inflation and industrial production.
