Reported by FTNN News on June 14, 2024, the Central Bank of Taiwan announced its 6th round of selective credit control measures to cool down the property market, limiting the maximum loan-to-value ratio for second home purchases in specific areas to 60%. Despite this, construction stocks saw an increase in prices with Xingfu Co. surging by 6%. Netizens expressed amusement that the construction sector seemed unaffected by the cooling measures, calling it a 'joke.' The Central Bank aims to redirect credit resources away from the real estate market by raising reserve requirements and adjusting credit limits. While the property market may be influenced, today's construction stock surge signals otherwise.
