降首付比、免税、调用地 五部委密集出手稳楼市

Government eases housing credit

房地产调控今年迎来了力度最猛的一只靴子。 3月30日,央行、住建部、银监会联合下发通知,居民购买二套房首付比例从60%调整为40%。此外,财政部通知,个人将购买2年以上的普通住房对外销售的,免征营业税。此前国土部和住建部还发文优化住房及用地供应结构。这一连串举措被一些媒体解读为五部委联手＂稳楼市＂。

China's latest moves to relax property curbs surprised the market and sparked fierce discussion on the possible effects of the new policy mix.March 3rd, the central bank and another two government organs announced a cut to the minimum down payment requirement for second home buyers-- to 40 percent from 60 to 70 percent. However, market consensus is that potential buyers are left with more options in their home purchase decisions and the sagging property sector will be gradually lifted, adding new fuel to the country's economic growth.
