China's property market is a huge part of the economy, but it's now in a deep slump.
This measure was introduced in August 2020 to limit the amount of money property developers could borrow.
Other Chinese real-estate developers ran into similar issues, and the sector started to default on its bond payments.
In the background, there were concerns that China's property crisis could spill over into the broader domestic and global economy.
In 2022, China's economy grew 3% — well below its official 5.5% target, intensifying the drag on the property sector.
