According to data from the China Index Research Institute, total real estate corporate bond financing increased sharply by 116.3% month-on-month in March, the highest point since September 2023. Among them, credit bond financing increased sharply by 230.7% month-on-month, accounting for 78.0%. Regarding the reason for the sharp increase in the scale of financing in March, Liu Shui, director of enterprise research at the China Index Research Institute, said in an interview with reporters that it was mainly seasonal factors. In February, there was a Spring Festival holiday, and housing companies' financing activities were weak; in March, housing companies' backlog of financing activities was released, leading to a marked increase from month to month. Notably, the Ministry of Housing, Urban-Rural Development recently stated that at present, all prefecture-level cities in the country and above have established real estate financing coordination mechanisms. As of March 31, of the “white list” projects promoted by various regions, 1979 projects had received a total of 469.03 billion yuan in bank credit, and 1,247 projects had received loans of 155.41 billion yuan.
