And now that we're sort of seeing the other side of the fence, it's sort of good to maybe reflect back at what we're seeing, but more importantly, what's happening.

How the market is reacting to an economy getting back to business, going back to what it was.

And I think it's really important to address this because I feel like it's not going to be spoken about as much as the direct impact COVID had at the time.

Because the impacts could be just as drastic for different individual asset classes.

So it's a really interesting thing.

I think it's all about where the improvement is.

So retail, for example, had...

a pretty hard time.

COVID would have shut down foot traffic for most businesses, especially in CBDs and where you needed that face-to-face customer reaction.

They were the hardest hit properties in the, I guess, the lockdown periods.

There were very long ones in the

The likes of Melbourne and Sydney and obviously border closures as well would have made huge impacts to certain logistics businesses and whatnot.

But retail is one of the fastest improving markets because it's coming off two years of fairly low rental activity.

So you imagine who would take a lease up in the middle of COVID if you were running a hairdresser and there was a threat of a lockdown.

You just wouldn't do it.

But now we're seeing confidence return to the markets.

We're seeing these shops which had those four lease signs on it actually getting a new tenant's approach.

And I've been talking to agents all over the country every day of the week and they've basically been saying there's been more leasing activity in the last month than the last two years in retail.

So things are looking good.

That's your face-to-face type retail.
