Paper and Logistics REITs: Different Dynamics, Converging Perspectives
Aiming to more accurately measure the total return of REITs during periods of high interest rate volatility and to offer a more structured long-term perspective, this study proposes the use of the Equity IRR (Internal Rate of Return) as an alternative performance metric.

However, with the Central Bank's monetary easing policy, will savings inflows become positive again? Based on the savings deposit balance by range, there is a chance that the levels seen in the past may not return.
