5th Annual Conference of Real Estate Industry of China
IRES Director, Professor Deng Yongheng, was invited to give the keynote speech at the 5th Annual Conference of Real Estate Industry in China, held in Sanya City, Hainan Island, China. The theme of the conference focuses on China’s urbanization process: the challenges and opportunities arising from China’s inflection point in the current property cycle towards a slower but steadier long-term growth. Professor Deng spoke on the “fission, survival, integration” of the property and financial markets in China, the worrying trend of the imbalance in the Chinese local government’s budget, the securitization of real estate assets - touching on mortgage backed securities and the creation of real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Annual Conference was attended by some of the major players in China’s property market, for example, Vanke, Greenland, and Sino-Ocean Land. The conference was held from 14th – 16th January 2015 and provided a platform for industry players to review the current status of China’s real estate market, discuss the challenges faced in moving on to the “silver times” of China’s property market including the use of social media marketing and big data, and brainstorm on solutions to overcome these problems.
