Post-Evergrande: China Real Estate Market Challenge

Zoom Webinar

Stagnant new home sales and slumping property stocks in China have brought China’s real estate crisis under the spotlight again after the Evergrande crisis in 2021.  As a dominant contributing industry to China’s economy, real estate hasn’t bounced back since the end of the pandemic. Unstable employment, an aging population, negative economic sentiment, have compounded the resilience of China's real estate market.

China’s Central government has introduced policies to stabilize the real estate market while regional governments are rolling out stimulus to stimulate the market. Are policies like low mortgage rates and down payments enough to revive the housing market? Will the world’s second-largest economy turn a ripple into waves? Listen to experts to learn more about the current status of China's real estate market and potential results from government actions.
