China Could Leverage Urbanization Plan to Stabilize Property Sector -- Market Talk

0818 GMT - China is likely to leverage its urbanization plan to stabilize the property sector, according to HSBC Global Research analysts. To accommodate new urban residents, the central government can, for example, allocate funds to acquire commodity housing inventory and convert it into social housing for rent or sale, they say in a note. It is also clear that the real-estate sector has been given higher policy priority lately, with the Chinese premier reiterating the need to stabilize the market, the analysts add. Shanghai loosened home-buying rules on Monday, including lifting property-purchase curbs for eligible households in suburban areas. That follows a similar easing in Beijing weeks earlier. HSBC reckons the central government could release more property stimulus, given it has the ability to stabilize the market. (jiahui.huang@wsj.com; @ivy_jiahuihuang)
