2024 MSCI South Africa Property Index

MSCI Real Estate is a global leader in real estate investment tools, delivering critical business intelligence to institutional investors and real estate owners, managers and brokers worldwide. Absa Commercial Property Finance is again a proud sponsor of the 2024 MSCI South Africa Property Index Annual Results, which will unpack the total return performance of the South African commercial property sector for the period ending December 2024.

Positive sentiment is returning to commercial property investment-both in South Africa and globally - driven by interest rate cuts, rising transaction volumes, and early signs of value growth. However, the recovery remains in its early stages and is not uniform across sectors, property types, or geographies.

This MSCI Index will cover nearly R400 billion in unleveraged direct property investment in South Africa where we will explore overall returns and the key drivers of income performance.

Meet the speakers

Join our live webinar on 9 April 2025, where expert panellists will share their insights, discuss the results, and provide their perspectives on the future of commercial property investment.
