The worsening monetary outlook is expected to weigh on property performance. With inflation set to peak at 10% y/y that will force interest rate to 3.0% next year. This will reverse the recent momentum in the commercial property sector, as yields flatten this year and rise from 2023. At the same time, outside of industrial, the rental outlook will remain weak and that means capital value growth will slow sharply this year and move negative in 2023-24. As a result, returns will dip below 5% p.a. in those years, albeit recovering again at the end of the forecast. Within this, we expect retail warehouses, shopping centres and leisure to outperform.
