Brick by Brick: Unravelling China's property Puzzle

KEY POINTS
China's property market has been in a persistent downturn since early 2022, deeper and more prolonged than previous corrections. With weakening fundamental drivers and subdued investment appetite, the long-standing housing market boom appears unlikely to return
