The document discusses Ireland's need for fiscal consolidation given its large budget deficit and rising debt levels. It notes that without policy changes, Ireland's general government budget deficit will exceed 10% of GDP in 2009 and its gross government debt will reach around 50% of GDP. If annual borrowing remains above 10% of GDP, Ireland's debt could reach 100% of GDP fairly quickly. The document argues that significant cuts to current and capital government spending are required to reduce borrowing and contain the growth of debt. Further tax increases may also be needed to achieve fiscal consolidation.

38. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT’s)
• What is a REIT?
• A real estate investment trust, or REIT, is a company
that owns, and in most cases, operates income-
producing real estate.
• Most of its assets and income tied to real estate
(investment rather than development).
• It must distribute at least 90 percent of its taxable
income to shareholders annually in the form of
dividends.
• Owing to 90% annual dividend it avoids corporation
tax which is one of it’s benefits.

40. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT’s)
What is the benefit of REIT’s to the construction industry?
• Attract funds to Ireland’s property market
• Introduce liquidity to investment market
• It offers a chance for the smaller investor to invest in diversified large scale commercial
property.
• Release Nama / Developer funds from illiquid assets which in turn would create funding
for development needs

41. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT’s)
How probable is a REIT in Ireland?
• Fine Gael Manifesto 2011
• Legislation is currently passing through government
• Nama would welcome the introduction – big benefits
in unwinding assets
• Domestic investors might be very eager to get in on
liquid commercial investment
• International Investors would be very interested (e.g.
€1bn chasing recent Office Building sale)
• Hopefully Budget 2013 will lead the way...
