1 Economy In May, the modest economic recovery that started off the year was brutally interrupted by the truckers strike, which had a big impact on 2018 s second quarter indicators. July s forecast indicators, however, have revealed that the damage was only temporary, and the economic impacts should dissipate bythe end ofthe year. Projected annual GDP growth declined from 2.8% in April to 2.0% in June, right before the strike. In addition, the Central Bank has called for an end to interest rate cutbacks, therefore, the SELIC should remain at 6.5% until the end of the year. The inflation rate (IPCA) was largely impacted by the strike and closed June at 1.3% (MoM). This figure was largely influenced by the fuel and supermarket sectors, which was heightened by fears of food and fuel shortages. The forecast for 2018 is 4.0%, below the Central Bank s target rate. The unemployment rate reached 12.7% in May, and the forecasts indicate that it should drop to 12.4% in June. As the indicator directly affects the office market, an improvement in the labor market could influence the demand for office space, warehouses and shopping centers. The exchange rate closed June at R$3.77, and is expected to close out 2018 at R$3.70.

Despite the unfavorable domestic scenario, it is important to consider that the country has been responding to the crisis for the past several years, and is slowly reestablishing itself. Current data for 2018 indicate a shy economical trajectory. Presidential elections, however, should increasingly impact the dollar s swing, and the economic results for the upcoming months depends on the outcome of the political dispute and the economic positioning ofthe newgovernment. 1

2 Market Overview The Class AA+ industrial market is reacting well to Brazil s economic and political situation. Absorption is still happening, although primarily in the country s southern axis, with newprojects on the way. Despite this, the average asking rent keeps falling as a way to attract tenants, and the vacancy is rising, due ongoing new development projects. The delivery of690ksqm worth of Class AA+ new inventory is expected by the end of the year, though the chances of this happening are slim, once landlords often wait for demand before delivering newprojects.

3 (%) Quarterly Change (,000 sqm) Industrial Q São Paulo With no new deliveries in the first quarter, the Class AA+ logistics market in São Paulo absorbed over 95Ksqm during the second quarter; all of them in Campinas. With a dynamic market, the net absorption reached 28.1Ksqm, mainly in Barueri (23.3Ksqm) and Jundiaí (22.6Ksqm). If not for the withdrawal of27ksqm in a warehouse in Guarulhos, which negatively affected the indicator by 18ksqm, net absorption could have been even higher. The following map shows which regions had positive or negative absorption flow. The size of the bubble indicates the amount ofactivity. The vacancy rate, despite wide-spread absorption, rose by 0.5 p.p. due to new deliveries, and closed out the quarter at 23.8%. With another 330Ksqm of new inventory expected by the end of the year, São Paulo s vacancy should increase even more in the coming months. Along with the vacancy, the average asking rent fell, dropping from R$19.33/sqm to R$19.12/sqm, or a decrease of 1.1%. The asking rent should experience minor fluctuations in the following months, as political uncertainties dominate the national scenario.

4 Rio de Janeiro In the first quarter of 2018, the Class AA+ logistic market in Rio de Janeiro received new developments. Such as the 58.6Ksqm that were delivered in Duque de Caxias. The results so far for 2018 indicate a possible rebound in Rio s industrial market, after a lack of demand in Because of the economic recovery in Rio, net absorption rose. With a 34.7% hike in comparison to the previous quarter, and 96.1% compared to the same period in 2017, roughly 10.7Ksqm were absorbed during the last three months. Santa Cruz/Campo Grande and Pavuna contributed the most to these absorptions, which 9.7Ksqm and 2.6Ksqm each, respectively. On the other hand, Vale do Paraíba registered -1.5Ksqm of negative net absorption. Even with Rio s industrial market dynamicity, the vacancy rate increased again, reaching 29.3%, showing that current absorption levels are not enough to halt it, due to the increase in newdeliveries.
