China announces economic stimulus to bolster property sector and growth

Chinese economy monetary policy property sector State Council economic stimulus

China's State Council, chaired by Premier Li Qiang, has pledged to intensify counter-cyclical macroeconomic adjustments to meet 2026 economic growth targets of 4.5% to 5.0%. The move comes as the economy faces cooling momentum, following a 4.3% GDP growth rate in the second quarter and signs of weakening industrial production and retail sales.

Key measures include increasing the People's Bank of China's (PBOC) re-lending quota for technological innovation by 200 billion yuan to a total of 1.4 trillion yuan. The PBOC also announced it will lower the interest rate for its pledged supplementary lending (PSL) facility by 0.25 percentage points to 1.5% to better support national strategies.

To address the sluggish property sector, the Ministry of Finance will introduce mortgage interest subsidies for eligible first-time homebuyers starting in October. These subsidies will cover up to 1 percentage point of the mortgage principal for up to five years for properties up to 120 square meters and priced under 1.5 million yuan. Additionally, policymakers plan to tap unused local government bond quotas from previous years and launch large-scale infrastructure projects under the 2026-2030 five-year plan to stimulate investment and consumption.
