cash and triggered protests by homebuyers.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>The new policies could help address buyers&#8217; concerns about stalled projects, according to Zhang Dawei, an analyst at Centaline Property.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>The measures suggest that policymakers \u201cunderstand the urgency to stabilise the property sector\u201d, Zhiwei Zhang, president and chief economist of Pinpoint Asset Management, told Reuters.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>State news agency Xinhua, citing unnamed officials, said the old housing sales system, which relies mainly on pre-sales and rapid turnover, was no longer suitable.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>Banks to take greater role in project financing<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>The new measures also seek to make financial institutions more responsible for project financing.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Guidelines issued by the People&#8217;s Bank of China and the National Financial Regulatory Administration require each housing project\u2019s financing to be linked to a lead bank. <!-- -->The bank will monitor project funds and either provide or organise loans.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>The measures also extend the maximum term for personal mortgage loans to 40 years from 30 years.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Separate draft measures issued by the financial regulator reiterated the central government&#8217;s call for financial institutions to meet property developers&#8217; \u201creasonable financing needs\u201d and urged trust firms to treat private and state-owned developers equally while providing financing.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>China&#8217;s securities regulator also pledged support for developers&#8217; financing, including through refinancing, mergers and reorganisation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>Property crisis continues to weigh on economy<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/>China&#8217;s property sector entered a prolonged downturn after a government campaign to curb developers&#8217; heavy borrowing triggered a liquidity crunch.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/>More than five years into the slump, home prices are still falling, while property investment continues to decline.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"43\"\/>Some stalled projects also remain unfinished after developers, including former industry leader China Evergrande, defaulted on their borrowings amid tighter financing rules and falling home prices.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"46\"\/>Jeff Zhang, an equity analyst at Morningstar, said the policies would likely favour larger developers with healthy liquidity, as they would face less pressure to quickly recover cash from projects.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"48\"\/>Centaline Property&#8217;s Zhang Dawei said smaller developers with limited cash reserves could be more likely to exit the market or change their business models as the pre-sale model is phased out.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/real-estate\/news\/china-property-crisis-why-beijing-is-moving-away-from-the-pre-sale-model\/articleshow\/133594035.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File photo: A general view shows a construction site of residential apartment blocks in Beijing, China (Picture credit: Reuters) China on Friday unveiled a series of measures aimed at reducing property developers&#8217;
