On 29th January 2024, MPACT (Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust) announced its 3Q FY23/24 Financial Results. Gross Revenue and Net Property Income (NPI) rose 0.8% and 1.7% year-on-year respectively. Despite the gain, Distribution Per Unit (DPU) was tempered by higher interest rates and the absence of a one-off cross-currency interest rate swap (CCIRS) gain in 3Q FY23/24.
