Key Focus

  • However, with GDP growth slowing and the Covid-19 situation globally remaining uncertain, the government needs to strike a fine balance between excessively cooling the property market and maintaining growth since property is an important contributor to China 's GDP
  • I believe this consistent policy will lead to a more stable residential price growth and hence more stable communities as well as a stable economy. . . China 's newly announced China real estate investment trusts (C-Reit) will further support investment and growth in new asset classes such as business parks, life sciences, logistics and data centres
  • We continue to monitor the risks associated with the sector, and remain focused on our bottom-up stock picking to identify the highest and sustainable growth companies with sound or improving ESG profiles
