Let’s turn our attention to China now
If the Chinese real estate bubble bursts and triggers a financial crisis, the nation’s economic growth will be stuck at around 1%, jeopardizing its goal of doubling gross domestic product by 2035, the Japan Center for Economic Research says in a new report.
The report projects GDP growth for 18 Asia-Pacific countries and regions through 2035, with annual updates made to reflect the latest policies and economic conditions. The JCER released a summary of this year’s report Monday.
China’s economy has been dragged down by property market woes for more than two years. The government’s plans to strengthen financial support for real estate companies could place an excessive burden on the financial system.
Mishandling the response could wreak havoc. Sluggish condominium sales and plunging prices could significantly push up defaults on bank loans, resulting in widespread financial woes at small and midsize banks.
