Premier responds to house price calls

AMID the public's calls for the government to stabilize housing prices, Premier Wen Jiabao said China will "firmly rein in" speculative and investment-driven housing demand.

Wen said the government should improve the accountability system for stabilizing housing prices and strengthen mechanisms for maintaining steady development of the market.

"We have kept a firm grip on the real estate market and kept housing prices from rising too quickly," he said.

Wen did not mention specific measures his government took to macro-manage the housing market, including property tax trials in Shanghai and Chongqing and the recent move to levy tax on capital gains of resold properties.
