Price to equity (PE) ratios of REITs worldwide 2020-2023, by country
REITs are companies that own or finance rental real estate. One of their major benefit is liquidity: Though not all REITs are publicly traded, many of the major ones are, which allows investors to easily buy and sell shares. Because REITs pay out most of their taxable income to shareholders as dividends, they typically do not pay any corporate income tax.
