The People's Bank of China (PBOC), China Securities Regulatory Commission, and the National Financial Regulatory Administration announced several economic measures yesterday (24th) to fortify support for China's property industry, according to a report issued by Goldman Sachs. The broker believed that these measures would yield a positive but likely limited impact.

Among those measures, Goldman Sachs considered the reduction of the minimum down payment for second homes to a historic low and at par with first homes to be surprising. However, the stimulus effect on home purchases may be affected by negative price expectations and a weak job market or wage growth outlook.
