People in China feel uneasy about the future of the real-estate industry in their country as construction of some housing developments are stalled due to developers' financial difficulties.
Increasing numbers of homebuyers are refusing to make mortgage payments, demanding resumption of construction on the housing they bought.
China is seeing a sharp economic slowdown following the government's zero-COVID policy and other factors. Many property developers are cash-strapped and they have had to suspend or delay work on their housing projects.
The trend toward halting mortgage payments started spreading in late June. A private think tank says about 200 properties in more than 70 cities are being affected as of July 16.
Financial institutions in China said the situation was not serious and announced that loans for unfinished housing are limited. China's financial regulators also pledged to work to address the situation, apparently to avoid further confusion.
