In the recent central bank meeting, interest rates were frozen while the reserve ratio was increased, particularly targeting non-self-occupied residential properties to control the flow of funds into the housing market. Xu Jiaxin stated that although this move aims to curb speculation, housing prices may still not decrease significantly.

However, significant corrections in prices are unlikely this year if the stock market remains stable. Various experts offered insights on the potential impact of the central bank's tightening measures on housing loans and the challenges of reducing housing demand and preventing defaults.
