    Singapore

    Singapore is a global financial centre and gateway to the ASEAN nations 1 as well as the restof the world. In addition to its strategic geographical location and ease of accessibility tocritical investment and economic nodes in the ASEAN nations, Singapore has typically beenrated highly for possessing various key business competitive advantages such as the easeof doing business, competitiveness, integration to the global economy, and level of humancapital.

    Leading global financial centre As stated in the Independent Market Research Report,Singapore has consistently been ranked as one of the top two financial centres in Asia (theother being Hong Kong) since 2007, and is ranked just behind London and New York globally.Singapore is the only country in Asia with a stable AAA credit rating from each of Fitch Inc.,Moodys Investors Service, Inc ( Moodys ) and Standard & Poors Ratings Group.

    According to the Independent Market Research Consultant, Singapore is home to over 700financial institutions, offering a broad and integrated suite of financial and business services,positioning itself as an important regional funding centre, leading insurance services centre

    and foreign exchange centre and commodity and financial derivatives trading hub in Asia. Inparticular, it is reputed to be Asias centre for wealth and asset management. Singapore isalso a leading listing destination, with the SGX-ST being one of the most international stockexchanges in Asia, based on its wide range of foreign listings.

    In addition, Singapore also has the most extensive network of free trade agreements in Asia,further supporting its position as a financial centre of choice.

    Gateway to the ASEAN nations due to proximity and business and cultural linkages With its established business and cultural linkages to the ASEAN nations as well as itspan-Asian business perspective, Singapore is a natural gateway for international firmslooking to access the ASEAN market as well as for ASEAN businesses seeking to gainaccess to the global market. As one of the most established financial and business hubs inthe region, Singapore has long led the ASEAN region in terms of foreign direct investmentinflows. In 2012, Singapore accounted for approximately 51% or S$56.7 billion of the foreigndirect investment inflow into the ASEAN nations according to the Independent MarketResearch Consultant.

    Singapores gateway positioning is augmented by its world-class international airport andport. Changi Airport is a major aviation hub in Asia and is the sixth busiest airport in the worldin terms of passenger movement as at September 2013. Serving more than 100 internationalairlines flying to some 250 cities in about 60 countries and territories worldwide, ChangiAirport handled more than 51.2 million passengers in 2012. Meanwhile, connected to over

    600 ports in more than 120 countries, the port of Singapore is one of the busiest containerports in the world, handling approximately 31.6 million twenty foot equivalent units in 2012,a 5.7% increase from 2011.

    The establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community by 2015 is expected to transform theASEAN region into a region with free movement of goods, services, investment and skilledlabour and freer flow of capital. With its established financial and business infrastructure,Singapore is well-positioned to capitalise on the ASEAN Economic Community.

    1 This refers to the countries constituting the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, namely Brunei, Cambodia,Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

    Financial capital of the PRC Shanghai has advanced rapidly up the ranks of leadingglobal financial centres over the years, being ranked fifth globally and third in Asia inSeptember 2011 as stated in the Independent Market Research Report. Despite themoderation of growth in the PRC economy in 2012 in tandem with the countrys entry into amore mature growth phase, Shanghai remains one of the top ten financial centres in Asia asof March 2013.

    In line with the 12th Five Year Plan of Shanghais Social and Economic Development, whichfocuses on accelerating the internationalisation of the city with a Four Centres initiative,namely internationalisation as a global financial, trade, shipping and economic centre,Shanghai has established a pilot free trade zone featuring interest rate liberalisation andincreased RMB convertibility as well as continuous support from the municipal government,such as measures aimed at encouraging and supporting MNCs to locate their regionalheadquarters in Shanghai.

    These measures have in particular helped drive the rapid growth of MNCs setting up theirregional headquarters in the city, from 86 in 2004 to 403 in 2012, as well as the significantgrowth of foreign direct investment inflow in 2012 of 20.5% year-on-year. According to theShanghai Commission of Commerce, Shanghai expects 35 more MNCs to locate theirregional headquarters to the city by end-2013, while foreign direct investment inflow isexpected to increase by approximately 10.0% year-on-year. This is in line with the PRCgovernments long-term target of having over 550 MNCs set up their regional headquartersin Shanghai by 2020.

    Shanghais position as one of the PRCs most important gateways for foreign trade has also

    strengthened significantly. Notably, the Shanghai Pudong International Airport, the primaryinternational airport serving Shanghai, is renowned as a major aviation hub in Asia,connecting the city to over 200 global destinations. As at end 2012, it is the busiest airportin the PRC in terms of cargo traffic (third globally) according to the Independent MarketResearch Consultant and the third busiest airport in the PRC in terms of passengermovement. Meanwhile, the port of Shanghai is the PRCs largest and most comprehensiveport, overtaking Singapore as the worlds busiest container port in 2010. The port ofShanghai has since maintained its pole position, registering the handling of approximately32.5 million twenty foot equivalent units in 2012.

    (b) Favourable office sector outlook in the respective CBD areas of Singapore and Shanghai support the further growth in DPU of the IPO Portfolio

    Singapore

    The CBD areas of Singapore have favourable office sector dynamics, with relatively strongdemand for office space and resulting in a high level of average occupancy.

    Since falling to a low of 90.7% in 2010 following the global financial crisis in 2009, averageoccupancy rates for office space in the Singapore CBD have recovered strongly, with RafflesPlace exhibiting a robust rate of 95.3% as at the third quarter of 2013. Marina Bay, therelatively new extension of Singapores CBD, has witnessed strong occupancy rates,increasing to approximately 95.2% in the second quarter of 2013 from 70.3% in 2010. This

    strong occupancy rate was recorded amid the gradual build-up of office space supply in thearea in recent years, reflecting the strength and attractiveness of the office rental market inMarina Bay. As at the third quarter of 2013, Marina Bays average occupancy rate fell to84.1% largely as a result of the completion of Asia Square Tower 2. According to theIndependent Market Research Consultant, occupancy rates in Marina Bay are expected toimprove over the next few quarters as pre-committed tenants in Asia Square Towers 1 and2 shift into their premises.

    This trend of strength in expected occupancy and rental rates of the Marina Bay office supplygoing forward is expected to be supported by the limited pipeline of office supply in the nearterm within the Marina Bay/Raffles Place CBD sub-districts. As at the third quarter of 2013,the pipeline supply of office space in Singapore between 2014 and 2017 stood atapproximately 0.6 million sq m, with approximately 0.3 million sq m or 48.0% of this supplylocated within the Singapore CBD. The supply dynamics of office space in the SingaporeCBD are expected to remain resilient to this pipeline supply, owing to the relatively limitedsupply coming online between 2014 and 2016 and the evenly staggered spread ofanticipated completions in the Singapore CBD between 2014 and 2017, which will reduce theintensity of competition.
