Risk of China Property Dip in 1H 2025, Nomura Says -- Market Talk

Dow Jones11-26 09:52

0152 GMT - China's home transactions look set for another month of recovery in November after an initial rebound in October, Nomura economists say in a note. However, they caution the recovery could be short-lived. With policies primarily focused on boosting housing demand and insufficient efforts to address the debt overhang of distressed developers, Nomura sees a substantial risk of another property dip in 1H of 2025. While state purchases of completed new homes and idle land offer some support, they may not be forceful enough to turn the tide, it says. "We maintain our view that clearing the debt overhang of developers is the most effective way for Beijing to deliver a real property recovery in 2025," the economists say. (monica.gupta@wsj.com)
