Thanks to higher tenant sales.
Mapletree Greater China Commercial Trust reported that its net property income increased 10.2% year-on-year to $59.3m in the third quarter, driven by higher tenant sales in spite of the weak retail environment in Hong Kong.

Property operating expenses jumped 20.5% to $14.3m during the quarter, due mainly to higher staff cost, utilities and maintenance cost, property and lease management fees, and timing of incurrence of marketing and promotional expenses and activities.
