“As we move into FY27, we recognise that global economic headwinds and geopolitical risks may persist, nevertheless, the group remains cautiously optimistic of its financial performance for the financial year, underpinned by the strong demand for our diversified product offerings in the property development segment and growing contribution from the property investment segment,” he said.
Meanwhile, IOI Properties’ proposed real estate investment trust has received approval from the Securities Commission Malaysia and is on track for listing by the fourth quarter of 2026.
