Foreclosure and Refinancing Risks - The number of foreclosed properties is expected to rise significantly, with estimates of 0.64 million units in 2025 and 2.43 million units by 2027 due to refinancing pressures on business operating loans [25][27]. - The outstanding operating loan amount was RMB 29.4 trillion as of the end of 2023, with a significant portion backed by physical property [24]. 6. Market Sentiment and Future Expectations - A significant increase in respondents indicating they will not buy a house in the next two years, rising from 32% in 2024 to 45% in 2025, reflects a pessimistic outlook on the property market [62]. - Property prices are expected to decline by 10% in 2026 and 5% in 2027, following a 12% decline in 2025 [65][68]. 7. Potential Policy Responses - Forbearance measures, such as repayment extensions and penalty waivers, are expected to be implemented to contain defaults [69]. - The PBOC is considering reforms to the personal credit system to alleviate the impact of delinquencies on borrowers [71]. 8.
