Key policy analysis: the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting on April 29. For the real estate industry, the meeting stressed the need to effectively control key risks and hold the bottom line of no systemic risks. We should adhere to the positioning that houses are used for living, not for speculation, support all localities to improve real estate policies from local realities, support rigid and improved housing demand, optimize the supervision of commercial housing pre-sale funds, and promote the steady and healthy development of the real estate market. This meeting mentioned holding the bottom line of no systemic risk. It can be seen that the recent real estate risk is the content that the state pays more attention to and needs to be actively controlled. It is necessary to prevent the real estate risk from spreading to other fields. Affected by the external environment and the epidemic, the growth rate of GPD in the first and second quarters was under pressure. The meeting made it clear that the target of GDP growth of 5.5% this year remains unchanged, which shows the determination of the state to effectively control the real estate industry and the expectation of subsequent real estate development. The central government’s attitude towards loose policies has changed to a certain extent compared with the relaxation of several real estate cycles in the past 15 years. Under the general tone of adhering to the principle of “housing without speculation”, this time proposed to improve the real estate policy and improve the housing demand according to the local actual situation, which is also a more clear reference to support the local government to change the real estate policy due to the implementation of urban policies after the meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee in December 2021 and the government report in March 2022, It has opened up space for further comprehensive relaxation of local policies.
