摩根大通朱海斌：房地产会在2026年趋稳

Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that China's economy is showing unexpected resilience, with signs of stabilization in first and second-tier cities, while third and fourth-tier cities are facing prolonged adjustment periods due to high inventory and insufficient demand [2][3] - New housing sales and construction indicators are expected to decline year-on-year in 2025, but are projected to bottom out and stabilize in 2026 [2] - The policy focus on stabilizing the real estate market requires a balance between short-term relief and long-term transformation, with new initiatives like affordable housing and urban village renovations being crucial to offset the decline in commodity housing [2][3] Group 2 - The risks in China's real estate sector differ fundamentally from Japan's "balance sheet recession," as the impact on households is milder compared to the significant exposure of Japanese companies to real estate [3] - Consumption and investment are expected to improve due to policy initiatives, with the scale of trade-in programs doubling from 150 billion to 300 billion, indicating a shift from policy statements to actionable measures [3] - The central government's fiscal expansion is a key feature of the second half of the policy agenda, contrasting with last year's focus on hidden debt replacement and bank recapitalization [3] Group 3 - The monetary policy faces challenges in balancing "stable exchange rates" and "broad credit," with the reserve requirement ratio at 6.4% and limited room for interest rate cuts, although 1-2 rate cuts are still anticipated this year [3] - The RMB exchange rate is stabilizing due to eased tariff risks, with expectations of it trading in the 7.2-7.3 range against the USD over the next 6-12 months, making exporters' currency settlement intentions a key variable [3] - Short-term growth stabilization still relies on investment, as consumption stimulus must address two main bottlenecks: slowing income growth and weakened employment expectations, alongside the diminishing wealth effect from real estate [4]
