China recently announced a comprehensive support package to stabilize its struggling property sector, including measures like cutting downpayment requirements and removing the floor for mortgage rates to encourage homebuyer demand. The package involves local governments instructing state-owned firms to purchase unsold apartments for social housing, setting up a 300 billion yuan relending facility, and repurchasing idle land. This initiative is crucial as it marks the first nationwide government purchase program for the property market since the 2021 bubble burst, aiming to boost home buying confidence and unclog funding channels, although critics argue the funding may only cover a small portion of the massive unsold housing inventory in China.
