Q: What is the background of this policy?
Answer: On November 11, 2022, the People's Bank of China and the former China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission jointly issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Job of Financially Supporting the Stable and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Market" ("Notice" for short), from the perspective of maintaining stable and effective real estate financing. 16 support policies have been clarified, two of which specify the applicable period. After the "Notice" was issued and implemented, it played a positive role in maintaining reasonable and moderate real estate financing and promoting the resolution of real estate enterprise risks, and achieved good policy effects.

Second, in accordance with the requirements of the "Notice", for supporting financing issued by commercial banks to special loan support projects before December 31, 2024, the risk classification will not be lowered during the loan period; Management of qualified borrowers. If the newly issued matching financing is poorly formed and the relevant institutions and personnel have performed their duties, they may be exempted from liability.
Except for the above two policies, other policies that do not involve applicable deadlines are valid for a long time. All financial institutions should earnestly implement the requirements of the document, implement policies according to the city to support rigid and improving housing demand, maintain reasonable and moderate real estate financing, increase financial support for guaranteed delivery buildings, promote market-based clearing of industry risks, and promote a stable and healthy real estate market develop.
