Chinese house prices slip again in April

But the gradual price decline is still manageable for the government and is a necessary pain for Chian to pop any forming price bubbles.

Here's more from BBVA:

Real estate prices continued to fall in April, with the prices of new housing falling in year-on-year terms for 46 out of 70 cities, eight more than in March. Driving housing prices downward are tight curbs on housing implemented by the Chinese government, along with weakening growth momentum in the Chinese economy. We estimate that nation-wide, average prices of new and previously-owned housing declined by -0.20% month-on-month, and -1.86% year-on-year, down from -1.48% in March. We think that because the decline in housing prices has thus far been gradual, it has been manageable for the economy, and moreover it is in line with authorities’ efforts to eliminate price bubbles

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.
