CHINA PRESS: Policymakers Should Focus On The Real Estate Market

May-22 01:52

Policymakers should emphasise supporting the real-estate market above boosting consumption to stabilise China’s domestic economy this year, said Liu Yuanchun, president at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. The government's strategy to expand domestic demand must go beyond short-term stimulus measures and focus on deeper structural adjustments, he added. To tackle persistently low prices authorities must curb excessive market competition and improve the overall regulatory environment, he said. (Source: Securities Daily)
