16日閉幕的中央經濟工作會議提出，中國將繼續堅持房地產市場調控政策不動搖，同時要繼續加強保障性住房建設和管理，加快棚戶區改造。
Beijing (CNS) -- China's top leaders have vowed to adopt more measures to control the property market next year, an expert said Sunday following the conclusion of a central economic work conference.
Zhou Jingtong, a senior analyst from the International Financial Institute at the People's Bank of China, said the central government's determination to control the real estate market had met insiders' general expectations. A property tax on housing might be among the new measures to control prices, he added.
Despite a string of policies over the last two and half years, high real estate prices remain stubborn, Zhou said.
Because of a low proportion of indemnificatory housing and limited investment methods, if such policies are removed, housing prices might rebound dramatically, he said.
