China’s Property Support Seen as Helping State-Owned, Quality Private Developers

China’s latest helping hand to the property market is expected to benefit state-owned and quality private developers.

Allowing developers to raise money on the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong stock markets could help firms get their hands on fresh cash and acquire assets from their peers that have defaulted, sources in finance and real estate told Caixin.

The new measures, announced by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) in a Monday Q&A, allow such share sales for purposes including debt repayments and acquisitions. It was the latest in a slew of measures regulators have rolled out this month to bolster the country’s slumping real estate industry.
