Good evening,

ASX-listed real estate giant REA Group is mulling its future in south-east Asia. Tonight, we’ve got the scoop on which investment bank has been called in by REA to help it assess options for its south-east Asian assets.

The company has struggled to gain traction in the region, and the review comes five years after it bought iProperty Group for $750 million.

Elsewhere, we take a look at which parties are bidding for Downer Group’s Open Cut Mining East business. It’s one of the final sales in a series of divestments as part of the company’s “urban services strategy”.

Finally, engineering and contracting company Calibre Group has embarked on a refinancing involving some big names, and local bookie BlueBet is shoring up support for its IPO.

Happy reading,
Sarah Thompson, Anthony Macdonald and Tim Boyd
