BEIJING — China signaled support for property developers and resolving local government debt problems in a high-level financial meeting that ended Tuesday, according to a state media readout.
Such twice-a-decade financial work conferences tend to set long-term policy directions, which then pave the way for more detailed moves.
"Policymakers would establish long-term effective mechanism to resolve local government debt and 'optimize the structure of central and local government debt,'" the report said.
Beijing began cracking down on property developers' high reliance on debt for growth in 2020.
The massive real estate sector has slumped amid developer defaults and falling home sales.
