Although CMC REIT was impacted by the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, CMC REIT was able to overcome difficulties despite the challenging macroeconomic backdrop achieving sustained and visible growth in its operating performance. Relying on the strong support of the parent company, China Merchants Shekou Industrial Zone Holdings Co., Ltd, sound management strategies and unremitting effort by the managements, CMC REIT has not only achieved sustained and visible growth in its operating performance, but also won many honors and recognition in the industry.
Major annual report awards received during the year:

CMC REIT's ability to win international awards under fierce competition is sufficient proof of its outstanding performance in corporate governance and information disclosure and has reached an internationally recognized level.
Major corporate awards received during the year:
- Hong Kong Ta Kung Wen Wei Media Group - "Greater Bay Area Most Valuable Investment Award"

2021 was a "harvest year" for CMC REIT in terms of awards and honors. CMC REIT has been fully recognized by many key media and institutions in the industry which will help increase the attention and investment attractiveness of CMC REIT in the coming months. Looking forward to the future, CMC REIT expects that the global economic situation will remain uncertain due to the epidemic but the Greater Bay Area will benefit from the effective prevention and control of the domestic epidemic situation while economic development is progressing at a stable and positive rate. Meanwhile, commercial property as a whole is expected to be less affected than other sub-sectors. It is expected that there will be more high-quality assets brought to the market in 2022 providing good opportunities for mergers and acquisitions development. As a state-owned enterprise, it is believed that CMC REIT will enjoy the advantages from the projects and funds involved in the integration wave.
