Outlook
Notwithstanding the challenging market conditions, we are excited by the positive trading performances of both the Namibian and Croatian portfolios as well as the resilience of the underlying property assets. Maerua Mall has performed particularly well and has seen significant growth in feet count in that it has nearly touched on levels last seen in the fourth quarter of 2019. As we continue our focus of strengthening our balance sheet and improving our debt covenants, we are poised to further diversify our portfolio and deliver on our strategy of investing in well- performing geographies and property sectors.
