Since the second half of the year, regulatory authority has taken multiple actions to tighten the rules regarding real estate financing among banks, trust funds, bonds, etc., in order to prevent misappropriation, indirect investments, etc., from entering the real estate market. Also in line with other policies, on one hand, banks will speed up the process of changing the credit structure in order to free up space taken by the real estate industry. More funds can thus flow into manufacturing as well as small and medium-sized enterprises, which are industries encouraged by the government. On the other hand, since stringent regulation on real estate market will not stop in the short term and the financing environment is still under pressure, more cities might establish stricter mortgage policies.
