SHANGHAI : Representatives from 10 Chinese property companies met government regulators to ask for an"appropriate loosening" on policy restrictions, financial news outlet Yicai reported late on Friday.
In the meeting, senior executives urged authorities to loosen regulations with the goals of stabilizing market expectations, providing support for genuine home buyers rather than speculators and making adjustments in land prices, Yicai reported, citing unnamed people in attendance. The meeting was attended by senior executives from developers including China Vanke Co Ltd and Sunac Holdings, along with the Director of the Real Estate Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Director of the China Real Estate Association , Yicai reported.
