China Business Seminar Series

Seminar 2: China Property Market Policy Reform

Wednesday, 7 November 2007
Atrium, 39/F, Island Shangri-La, 8:00am to 10:15am

South China Morning Post and the Faculty of Business and Economics of The University of Hong Kong have created this seminar series to explain and debate China's policy development and reform programmes with input from Mainland and overseas experts. Through this Series, we seek to raise awareness and understanding of these issues on all sides of the debate, and create opportunities for the transfer of knowledge and closer collaboration with investment in the Mainland.

In this seminar, we will discuss:

Is the property market overheated, especially in large cities such as Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing?
Has there been overbuilding in either the commercial or residential sector? If so, what will be the consequences? Is one a better investment than the other?
Do we expect a serious correction in property values in the near future?
Is it too late to enter the market?
Since property values are already high, where should one invest?
What are the issues to be considered on investments in second and third-tier cities?
What policies is Beijing implementing to cool these markets?Have the policies been effective?
How will higher interest rates and tightening mortgage requirements affect the market?
Do we expect a new property tax to be introduced soon and what effect will that have?
Our views on developments in economic housing. Is this a viable investment option?
