China housing prices on the rise

Housing prices increased for the third straight month albeit at a minimal 0.07%.

Here's more from BBVA:

According to NBS data released today, housing prices increased marginally in August by 0.07% m/m from 0.06% last month, marking the third consecutive month of price increases. Residential housing prices also contracted at a slower pace on an over-year basis for the month, at -1.8% y/y from -2.0% in July, according to our index aggregating the prices of the 70 major cities (including both new and secondary housing).

Since May, housing prices at the national level are now up by 0.2%. The uptrend in housing prices comes as a relief to concerns about a hard landing in the important housing sector, but may also act as a constraint on the pace of monetary easing, as the authorities continue to express concern about maintaining housing affordability.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
