  • Description: This talk will discuss the emerging housing policy framework in China, which includes three major affordable housing programs and a heavily regulated housing finance sector. The three programs are the Economical and Comfortable Housing (ECH) program, the Housing Provident Fund (HPF) program, and the Cheap Rental Housing (CRH) program. For each program, I will describe how it works and whether it has been effective in achieving its policy objectives. I will also examine the characteristics of China’s newly developed mortgage market and present some examples on how the Chinese government has regulated this sector.
