Property market conditions “spicy” Chen Mao wave do not fancy this year’s surplus last year’s “ability to be more positive and promising”

the fiscal surplus for this fiscal year was quite high, with a surplus of 100 billion last year and more this year than last year. However, he bluntly said property prices are now at “extremely high” level. The government does not intend to reduce the buyer’s stamp duty, extra stamp duty and double stamp duty on “spicy food” because the property market will “go-kills” once it is “spicy.” He said he is “very unhappy” about getting on the bus now. However, he will ease the market for mortgage loans. He worries that fringe benefits will be put on the fringe market and there will be no vacant tax.

Chen Maobo said yesterday that on the radio program, the fiscal surplus for the year was “very impressive” due to the revenue from selling land and the stock market. The unit supply of land for sale increased by 30% from the target of 18,000, up by 30% to nearly 24,000 Units, and stamp duty income also more. Although the government has made a lot of money and the government is more capable of making “positive and promising things,” he bluntly said: “Do not imagine that the government will spicy spicy on the property market at this stage.”

Worried members of the fringe

“We mean the buyer’s stamp duty, the special (extra) stamp duty on short-term speculation and the double stamp duty on re-buying property already owned by the property owners. We do not intend to make adjustments in these three areas. It does not mean “reducing spicyness.” ”

He himself will continue to pay close attention to buyers stamp duty, extra stamp duty and double stamp duty three policies to control the property market increases. As for the buyer stamp duty, a stamp duty of 15% on properties purchased by non-Hong Kong people is now charged. I believe the public will not oppose it and it will not affect the supply in the secondary market. In order to curb short-term speculation, he believes that in accordance with the transfer of the length of time to charge additional stamp duty, can effectively suppress demand. Double stamp duty was also effective. The percentage of purchases of “second floor” in total transactions fell from 26% at peak time to 15% at present.

Many people are concerned about whether the government will ease the number of mortgages. Mr Tan said that the Legislative Council had discussed the issue. The government also conducted studies to understand that people who want to go upstairs have the ability to supply the flats. However, the first phase is too demanding and difficult to raise . He categorically said that he would “get a good heart” and “get caught up” with the ascended heart of the public.

However, he pointed out that property prices are now at an “extremely high level”. If people are brought to the market this time, they are worried about being “kind-hearted and doing bad things.” If at this stage we introduce some measures to those who are more economically viable at this time It is easier for them to go home if they are worried about helping the property market. It also makes them vulgar to say that they are getting better. “When the property market is adjusted,” the most wounded people are these people. “He stressed that the government should be cautious and valued And constantly pay attention to the situation.

Mr Chan admitted that there was an increase in buyer stamp duty in November and December last year, with an increase of non-Hong Kong residents or the purchase of Hong Kong properties through limited companies. “We will not increase the stamp duty on buyers, so I will not comment here. Why? Because it is easy to be distorted to push some people into the market and fuel the situation.”

Temporarily will not put vacant tax

In the past, the government used to walk on a “two-legged” path to control the property price increases separately from the speculative investment demand and the supply increase as soon as possible. He predicts that the supply of units in the future will gradually catch up. For example, in this and the next year, the government will Providing 19,000 and over 20,000 flats to the private market. He argues that steady supply can help solve the problem of short supply. Apart from increasing housing supply, selling allowances and subsidized housing, it will be the general direction for the government to solve the housing problem.

In view of the proposed vacancy tax, Chen Maobo made it clear that at present, the ratio of vacancy rates in residential properties is not high, and the administrative measures to implement vacant tax rates are quite complicated. He will pay heed to the policy but does not consider the implementation at this stage.

The same guest, Professor Le Dingming, a part-time professor of economics at HKUST, suggested that the government should adjust the number of mortgages. “So few people in Hong Kong are expected to come out in the first phase of 40%.” In his view, the greatest effect of spicy recruitment is to suppress the trading volume. If the government wants to keep property prices low, the spicy move should not be the most critical issue. The mortgage requirement should be adjusted so as to solve the problem of developers monopolizing the property market.
