Panel: What's the outlook for China's real estate market?

World Today

China's policymakers have been rolling out fresh stimulus to boost the country's property sector for the past few months. Measures announced included lower down payment thresholds and mortgage rates, increasing the amount of affordable housing, and more. Amid such stimulus, property markets in first-tier cities have picked up, and the number of visits to new property projects grew in September.

Has China's real estate market started bottoming out? How will the market further respond to these stimulus packages? Host Liu Kun is joined by Professor Liu Baocheng, Director of the Center for International Business Ethics, University of International Business and Economics; Betty Xiao Wang, Assistant Professor from the Business School with The University of Hong Kong; Mike Bastin, China observer and senior lecturer at the University of Southampton.
