China's real estate sector: How big is the crisis?

This report analyses the rising risks in the Chinese financial market as well as the current tensions in the Chinese real estate market.
Since the introduction of the so-called three red lines and the tightening of the regulation on corporate borrowing rules, some highly indebted real estate companies have run into difficulties. There is a concern that these companies could go bankrupt. Such a development would have negative effects on China's financial market and potentially global financial markets. Due to various factors, this scenario does not seem very likely. However, a broader, far-reaching real estate crisis harbors the risk of significantly dampening China’s economic growth and thus also having a negative impact on the global economy.
