Sector overview
Nowadays, there are many news published around the China’s real estate sector, it is, because it has the world on edge. China’s real estate sector has been staggering from crisis to crisis.
Many constructions have not been finished yet and developments have been stopped since the property developers have run out of capital.
China’s property market is in a slump triggered after Evergrande’s debt default last year. Total mortgages at stalled Chinese developments takes around 2 trillion yuan ($296 billion), according to a study at GF Securities Co.
By the end of 2020, China’s local government debt took roughly $4 trillion. The estimated “hidden” or “shadow” debt can be as high as $8 trillion, which is more than half the China’s GDP.
In addition, not only Evergrande group is the one in the trouble. Several indebted property companies have already defaulted or heading towards default like Sinic Holdings Group, Modern Land or Sunac.
However, China is the world’s second-largest economy, too big to fail. The government considers to launch a real estate fund to help real estate developers solve the debt crisis, aiming for a budget target of up to 300 billion yuan ($44 billion). The country is still the manufacturing center of the world and if the Chinese economy falters, countries around the world will suffer from slower and more expensive import.
