¿Por qué seguimos empeñados en atacar el concepto del “pisito” o de la “propiedad" inmobiliaria olvidando lo realmente causal e importante?
Ray Dalio: Negative Real Rates Are ‘Guaranteed’Mr. Dalio describes the driving dynamic of this era to be:“There’s not enough money to go around. We’re spending a lot more than we’re earning… and you can’t take it all from taxes. So, what that means is the printing of money. So, It’s the mechanics of that… you get more money, so that devalues the value of money… Cash is trash. Look, this is guaranteed. You are not going to have an interest rate that is going to compensate you anywhere for inflation, so you have to look at the cost of the money… That interest rate, whether is the bond rate or the cash rate, you’re not going to get (the inflation rate)… We have this wonderful sugar high… but that means everything else goes up in relation to cash, because it’s better to borrow cash. That’s just mechanics… So, we produce inflation… Interest rates must be below the inflation rate and must be below the nominal growth rate in order to deal with all of that debt, in order to finance it, and that depreciates the value of cash and money, so you have to invest it elsewhere. That’s the dynamic.”While nothing is “guaranteed” in markets, it’s certainly hard to imagine a scenario where the markets could support positive real interest rates without dipping into a recession and it’s hard to image the Fed trying.
China's embattled Evergrande tries to pay bills with parking spots(...) The fresh demonstration came after an apparent effort overnight by Evergrande to repay debts with promises of property, parking spaces and storage units soured the mood."They offered us (ownership of) shops, kindergartens and parking units ... but we can't use them. None of us agree to this," said a woman who gave her surname only as Wang.She said her financial company in the central city of Chongqing is "not really functioning" because of unpaid debts from the developer.Experts say the Hong Kong-listed firm has more than a million units pre-paid by customers yet to be built, adding to the sense of dread among Chinese investors, many of them first-time buyers trying to get a foot on the runaway property market.The company on Tuesday admitted it is under "tremendous pressure" and may not be able to meet its liabilities.On Wednesday it declined a request for comment from AFP.

China Goes Cold Turkey on PropertyWeak economic data show just how complicated any transition away from real estate could beBy Nathaniel Taplin | Sept. 15, 2021 8:45 am ETA police officer talking to people gathered at the headquarters of the troubled property developer Evergrande on Wednesday. Real-estate activity in China continues to plummet.PHOTO: NOEL CELIS/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGESBeijing has decided it wants a German economy: lots of high-tech manufacturing and exports, high savings—and definitely no American-sized housing bubbles.But China has long been a property-centric economy. Weak economic data for August released Wednesday show just how complicated any transition away from real estate could be, as Beijing continues to mercilessly squeeze property developers.Policy makers have been counting on buoyant exports and household spending to offset the knock from slowing construction and property investment. Exports are still in good shape, but the other half of that thesis—on consumption—is looking very shaky. If exports stumble or consumption doesn’t pick up again promptly, Beijing may be forced to relent on its property curbs sooner than it would like and pivot back toward an easier monetary stance.The political calendar is running out: Next fall the 20th Party Congress will arrive, when most observers expect Xi Jinping to bid for a third term at China’s helm. He may be reluctant to permit a deep property-induced slump at such a sensitive time, even assuming the country manages to escape serious financial turbulence associated with the woes of developers such as Evergrande.August weakness in services and consumer spending was expected given the harsh measures used to control the midsummer Delta variant outbreak in eastern China. But the magnitude of the damage still caught analysts by surprise—retail sales rose just 2.5% year-over-year, down from 8.5% in July and well below economists’ expectations of 6.3%. September could end up weaker than expected too: A new outbreak in Fujian province is likely to deal further damage, especially if it spreads beyond the province.Meanwhile, real estate activity continues plummeting. Property investment rose just 0.3% year over year in August. Excluding January and February 2020, that was the weakest since 2015, during the last major housing downturn. Home prices in large coastal markets are mostly still rising, but those in many smaller, so-called third- and fourth-tier cities have begun to fall. Land sales by value fell 90% year over year in the first 12 days of September, according to Nomura.Developers’ housing inventories are far lower than during the 2015 crash in most parts of the country, according to ANZ Bank—with the notable exception of China’s northeastern Rust Belt. That may help limit falls in home prices. But it can’t prevent a substantial hit to economic activity as new construction projects are put on hold. And sharply falling land prices could cause other problems: Land sales are a key source of local government revenue, while developers who levered up to buy expensive land will be left holding the bag, adding further strain to their overstretched balance sheets.There was never going to be a good time to wean China off property—if such a thing is possible. Beijing’s economic policy makers are having a decent go at it right now. But the odds may no longer be in their favor.
China's major banks have been notified by the housing authority that Evergrande Group won't be able to pay loan interest due Sept. 20, a media report says, underlining the broadening impact of the property developer's liquidity crisis https://reut.rs/3tIPy3h
HONG KONG, Sept 15 (Reuters) - China's major banks have been notified by the housing authority that Evergrande Group (3333.HK) won't be able to pay loan interest due Sept. 20, Bloomberg reported, underlining the broadening impact of the property developer's liquidity crisis.The troubles ailing the nation's no. 2 property developer have already sparked social anger among investors and homebuyers and raised risks for China's vast financial system.Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD) held a meeting with the banks this week, the Bloomberg report said on Wednesday, citing sources familiar with the matter. It added that Evergrande is still discussing with banks the possibility of extending payments and rolling over some loans.The indebted property developer is scrambling to raise funds to pay its many lenders and suppliers, as it teeters between a messy meltdown with far-reaching impacts, a managed collapse or the less likely prospect of a bailout by Beijing. read moreRegulators have warned of broader risks to the country's financial system if the company's $305 billion of liabilities aren't contained.Evergrande on Tuesday said it has engaged advisers to examine its financial options and warned of cross-default risks amid plunging property sales and lack of progress in asset disposals. read moreThe housing ministry did not immediately respond to a faxed Reuters request for comment, and Evergrande also did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Last week, financial intelligence provider REDD reported Evergrande has told two banks it planned to suspend interest payment due later this month. read moreRating agency S&P on Wednesday further downgraded Evergrande to "CC" from "CCC", with a negative outlook, citing reduced liquidity and default risks including the possibility of debt restructuring.An Evergrande Group (3333.HK) default could expose numerous sectors to heightened credit risk, another rating agency Fitch said in a note late on Tuesday, but it added the overall impact on the banking sector would be manageable."We believe a default would reinforce credit polarisation among homebuilders and could result in headwinds for some smaller banks," Fitch said.Fitch has downgraded China Evergrande Group to "CC" from "CCC+" on Sep. 7, indicating that it viewed a default of some kind as probable.Fitch said 572 billion yuan ($88.8 billion) of Evergrande's borrowings were held by banks and other financial institutions, but banks may also have indirect exposure to the developer's suppliers, who are owed 667 billion yuan for goods and services."Smaller banks with higher exposure to Evergrande or to other vulnerable developers could face significant increases in non-performing loans (NPLs), depending on how any credit event involving Evergrande develops," Fitch said.But the agency added a recent People’s Bank of China (PBOC) sensitivity test showed the average capital adequacy ratio of the 4,000 banks in the country would only drop modestly if the NPL ratio for property-development loans were to rise by 15 basis points.The PBOC, China's central bank, and the nation's banking watchdog summoned Evergrande's executives in August in a rare move and warned that it needed to reduce its debt risks and prioritise stability. read moreDISGRUNTLED INVESTORSEvergrande's Hong Kong-listed stock slipped another 5.4% to close at HK$2.81 on Wednesday, a fresh low since Jan 2014, while financial stocks were also weighed down by worries of the broader risks Evergrande's debt crisis might bring.The company's property management unit (6666.HK) and EV unit (0708.HK), however, bounced 5.5% and 2.6%, respectively.Three of Evergrande's onshore exchange-traded bonds fell at least 20%, and one had its trading paused by the Shenzhen exchange.Fitch also said the risk of significant pressure on house prices in the event of a default would be low, and it expected the government would act to protect households’ interests to ensure home deliveries.Market watchers said ensuring social stability will be the top priority for the Chinese government.Oscar Choi, founder and CIO of Oscar and Partners Capital Limited (OP Capital), said the government would talk to creditors on one hand, and use its local resources to prevent uncompleted apartments on the other."You can’t just let construction uncompleted; a few hundred thousands families (will be affected)," he said.On Wednesday, roughly 40 protesters stood near the entrance at Evergrande headquarters in Shenzhen, prevented from going inside by dozens of security personnel.This followed chaotic scenes at the headquarters two days earlier, as disgruntled investors crowded its lobby to demand repayment of loans and financial products.Some videos circulating on Chinese social media also showed what were described as Evergrande-related protests elsewhere in China.
