Oversupplied and overheated: China's housing policy dilemma
Report summary
China's housing market has been booming in 2016. At the end of September, China launched its 'Housing 930' policy, a package of regulations aimed at cooling the overheated housing markets in major cities. But will the policy work as hoped? Is it possible to tackle the overheated market in major coastal cities, even though huge inventories remain in other parts of the country? More importantly, do changing housing policies threaten China’s economy?
