Property Loan Risks

REGULATORS are confident of controlling real estate loan risks, Shanghai's top banking regulator said yesterday.

The China Banking Regulatory Commission has launched several stress tests on real estate loans, applying different scenarios.

"Regulators and banks share the same view that width and depth of risks are rising from the property loans, and we are confident we are bringing the risks under control," said Liao Min, head of the Shanghai Bureau of the China Banking Regulatory Commission.

The final results of the stress tests haven't been completed, Liao told Shanghai Daily on the sidelines of a forum in Shanghai.

Regulators have rolled out several measures to control risks in the sector.

Banks have been ordered to raise the minimum down payment on second homes to 60 percent from 50 percent.
