Core Viewpoint - The newly issued "Anti-Money Laundering Work Management Measures for Real Estate Practitioners" will take effect on September 1, 2025, mandating real estate institutions to fulfill anti-money laundering obligations and cooperate with regulatory authorities [1][12]. Group 1: Regulatory Framework - The measures clarify the responsibilities of real estate developers and intermediaries in identifying suspicious transactions and reporting them to the authorities [4][6]. - Real estate institutions must maintain customer identity information and transaction records for at least ten years, with specific requirements for high-value and frequent transactions [4][6]. Group 2: Industry Impact - The new regulations are expected to enhance the role of the real estate industry as a "financial security facilitator," pushing the sector towards stricter compliance and oversight [1][12]. - Short-term impacts may include increased operational costs for real estate firms as they establish internal controls for anti-money laundering, while long-term effects could lead to industry consolidation and improved competitiveness among compliant firms [12]. Group 3: Historical Context - Previous cases of money laundering through real estate highlight the need for stringent regulations, as seen in the 2021 cases published by the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the People's Bank of China [6][9].
