Cooling Measures Fail To Bring Down Real Estate Prices In China Return to Headlines
Despite attempts by the government to cool the market, property prices in China are continuing to increase from a year earlier. The National Bureau of Statistics reported that even though the property price index in August fell slightly from July’s 10.3% rise, it still registered a rise of 9.3% from a year earlier. However, property prices in 70 of China’s large- and medium-sized cities were unchanged for the second consecutive month in August. Analysts said that the current measures need to be strengthened in order to curb the speculation that has driven up property prices and could increase social discontent and economic risks.
