housing--
Real estate still has great potential and space
"For the real estate market, we must not only look at the short term, but also the medium and long term. The transformation and adjustment of my country's real estate market and the task of stabilizing the market are still arduous. However, from the perspective of my country's urbanization development process and the demand for renewal and renovation of the national urban housing stock, real estate There is still a lot of potential and space." Ni Hong, Minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, said that we believe that as long as we strengthen our confidence, respect the rules, and insist on solving any problems, we can promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.
To stabilize the market, city governments must make good use of their regulatory autonomy
Ni Hong said that to stabilize the market, city governments must make good use of their regulatory autonomy.
The real estate market is a city-based market, and the supply and demand relationships in each city are very different.
This is why we emphasize the need to implement city-specific policies, precise policies, and one city-by-city policy.
"Now that cities have been fully given autonomy in regulation, city governments must shoulder their responsibilities and prepare and implement housing development plans based on population conditions, supply and demand, and security needs, implement city-specific policies to optimize real estate policies, and stabilize the real estate market. "
Real estate companies that are seriously insolvent and have lost their ability to operate should go bankrupt.
Ni Hong also said that the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, in conjunction with the State Administration of Financial Supervision, will guide local governments to establish an urban real estate financing coordination mechanism and propose a "white list" in accordance with "one project, one plan" to support the reasonable financing needs of real estate companies without discrimination.
Currently, 312 cities in 31 provinces across the country have established this mechanism, and more than 6,000 “whitelist” projects have been reported.
Among these projects, 82.8% are projects of private enterprises and mixed-ownership enterprises.
As of the end of February, commercial banks had approved loans exceeding 200 billion yuan.
"What needs to be emphasized is that for real estate companies that are seriously insolvent and have lost their operating capabilities, they must be bankrupt and reorganized in accordance with the principles of the rule of law and marketization. Any behavior that harms the interests of the masses must be resolutely investigated and punished in accordance with the law. , let them pay the price they deserve." Ni Hong said.
Whoever can build good houses for the masses will have a future.
"Building a new model of real estate development is the fundamental strategy to solve real estate development problems and promote a stable and healthy real estate market." Ni Hong emphasized that we must always adhere to the positioning that houses are for living in, not for speculation, and improve "market + security" "Housing supply system, the government guarantees basic housing needs, the market meets multi-level and diversified housing needs, establishes a housing system that promotes both renting and purchasing, and strives to allow the people to live in good houses.
"Under the new model, I hope that current real estate companies will see that in the future they will fight for high quality, new technology, and good services. Whoever can seize the opportunity and transform and develop will build good houses for the people. , Whoever provides good services will have a market, whoever can develop, and whoever can have a future." Ni Hong said.
