Chinese house prices slip again in April

But the gradual price decline is still manageable for the government and is a necessary pain for Chian to pop any forming price bubbles.

Here's more from BBVA:

Real estate prices continued to fall in April, with the prices of new housing falling in year-on-year terms for 46 out of 70 cities, eight more than in March. Driving housing prices downward are tight curbs on housing implemented by the Chinese government, along with weakening growth momentum in the Chinese economy. We estimate that nation-wide, average prices of new and previously-owned housing declined by -0.20% month-on-month, and -1.86% year-on-year, down from -1.48% in March. We think that because the decline in housing prices has thus far been gradual, it has been manageable for the economy, and moreover it is in line with authorities’ efforts to eliminate price bubbles

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
