Why Invest in Irish Retail
Economy going from Strength to Strength
Ireland was the EU’s fastest growing economy in 2018, with output rising by 8.2%. Total employment rose by 2.3% in 2018 and a
further 3.7% year-on-year in Q1 2019, with an increase of over 80,000 people at work. Unemployment is currently at 4.6%, close
to what is believed to be full employment. Greater numbers at work, coupled with increased earnings and consecutive tax cuts,
have led to strong growth of over 5% in real aggregate household disposable incomes in the last twelve months and continued
deleveraging which has contributed to a 4.6% rise in households’ net worth.

Retail Property
Over the 12m to end-June, retail rents rose by 1.5% across the basket of investment grade shops covered by MSCI. This reflects
a slowdown compared with 3% Y/Y a 12m ago. As ever with retail there is significant variation by location and store type. Given
buoyant consumer demand for electrical goods and homewares, arising from increased household wealth and housing output,
the retail warehousing sector has been the best performer. Here rents are rising by 6.5% per annum and capital values have
edged up by 1.8%.

The economic backdrop remains favourable for retail property. Ireland’s benign cycle of jobs creation, which has been in
place for more than five years now, is expected to continue with consensus forecasts pointing to robust growth of 2.2% and
1.9% in 2019 and 2020 respectively. Additionally, as the labour market approaches full-employment, wage inflation is likely to
strengthen, which should provide consumers with additional firing power at the tills.

In conjunction with the ESRI Savills Research has developed an econometric model of retail rents in Ireland. In summary, with
limited additional rental property being constructed rents are now rising with 1.51% Y/Y rental growth Q2 2019. The model
forecasts further rental growth of 3.44% between Q3 2019 to Q1 2021.
