Co-sponsored with Hopkins China Forum. Excess supply across the residential, office, and retail sectors in urban China are now a drag on economic performance, and market easing policies to date may not be adequate to prevent a hard landing. In light of these trends, tonight’s speakers will discuss factors including: changes in real estate demand drivers, supply overhang, diverging trends across city tiers, regulatory and policy dynamics, the outlook for market recovery, and the impact on the macro-economy.
