政府工作報告釋放房產政策寬松預期

Industry insiders anticipate eased policies covering the realty market after the Government Work Report delivered by Premier Li Keqiang on Thursday featured a softer tone on the industry.
??? 中國國務院總理李克強3月5日所作的政府工作報告對房地產業用語緩和。業內人士據此表示，房地產市場政策有望放松。

The report omitted any mention of "curbing investment and speculative demand", which had appeared in previous reports, and mentioned only "people's demand for housing for personal use and second homes", which was interpreted by market players as a signal of further policy easing and other steps to boost demand.
??? 在前幾年的政府工作報告出現過的“抑制投機投資性需求”在今年的報告中只字未提，只是談到“居民自住和改善性住房需求”。 在行業企業看來，這是進一步放寬政策、刺激需求的信號。

"We believe the softer tone paves the way for further policy easing, including a cut in the down payment requirement. The government also plans to increase support for government-subsidized housing, including via the purchase of existing housing stock," said Wang Tao, chief economist in China with UBS AG.
??? 中國首席經濟學家兼瑞士聯合銀行副總裁王濤表示：“我們相信，溫和的表述能為降低首付款要求等進一步的寬松政策鋪路。政府還計劃增加對保障性住房的支持，包括購買現有存量房。”

The market went through tough times last year, with slumping prices and sales in many cities.
??? 2014年，中國的房地產市場經歷了一段艱難期，很多城市都遭遇價格和銷售額的雙滑坡，。

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, property investment growth slid to 10.5 percent in 2014 from 19.8 percent in 2013. Slower investment growth and sluggish apartment sales have affected industries ranging from iron ore to banking, and small and medium-sized developers have been under particular pressure.
??? 據中國國家統計局統計，房地產投資增量由2013年的19.8%跌至2014年10.5%。較低的投資增長和蕭條的房屋銷售對包括鐵礦和銀行在內的多個行業造成影響。特別是中小型開發商，壓力尤大。

Developers said that the Government Work Report provided insights that may lead them to seek opportunities in niche markets.
??? 開發商認為，政府工作報告將引導他們在利基市場中尋找機會。

Yang Keng, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and head of a Chengdu-based developer in Sichuan province, said his enterprises have been shifting their focus to apartments with basic fittings such as plumbing, rather than bare shells, for consumers who wish to upgrade.
??? 中國人民政治協商會議全國委員會委員，四川省成都市的開發商代表楊鏗表示，為滿足改善住房客戶的需求，他的企業已將建房重點轉向配有水管裝置等基本設施的公寓，而不是豪華的住房。

Analysts said the realty market will benefit from the report's guidance in 2015 in various ways.
??? 分析人士表示，房地產市場將在2015年從多方面受益于工作報告的引導性表述。

"There may be further reserve ratio requirement cuts (for banks) by the end of 2015. In first-tier cities such as Shanghai, prices of apartments may climb some 10 percent based on solid demand ... while the prices of large luxury homes may rise between 5 and 8 percent," said Jenny Wu, director and head of residential services in eastern China for DTZ, a property services provider.

Although the government aims to stabilize the market, it may not be willing to end purchase limits in cities such as Beijing and Shanghai.
??? 雖然政府意在穩定市場，但可能不會結束北京和上海等城市的購房限制政策。
