Chinese authorities announced on February 1 2026 targeted support measures aimed at stabilizing the country property sector as policymakers seek to restore confidence and prevent broader economic spillovers. Officials said the steps focus on improving liquidity for viable developers protecting homebuyers and ensuring the completion of stalled housing projects.
Regulators outlined measures to encourage banks to extend reasonable financing to qualifying firms while maintaining oversight to limit excessive risk. Local governments were urged to accelerate the use of special funds to support project completion and safeguard pre sold homes. Authorities emphasized that the goal is orderly adjustment rather than a return to speculative growth.
Economists noted that the property sector remains a key driver of employment and local revenue. Recent indicators showed uneven recovery with sales improving in some cities while others lag. The support signals were welcomed by markets though analysts cautioned that confidence will depend on consistent implementation and transparency.
Officials reiterated a commitment to housing for living not speculation and said reforms would continue to promote long term stability. The measures are expected to ease near term pressures while broader structural adjustments proceed through 2026.
