The Central Economic Work Conference proposed that measures should be taken according to local conditions to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market. What specific measures will the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development take?

Wang: Since the implementation of the long-term real estate mechanism, with the joint efforts of all parties, the real estate market has been generally stable, basically achieving the goals of stabilizing land prices, housing prices and expectations.

In the next step, we will resolutely implement the deployment of the Central Economic Work Conference, firmly adhere to the positioning that houses are used for living, not for speculation, and do not use real estate as a short-term means to stimulate the economy. Always tighten the string of real estate market regulation, fully implement the long-term real estate mechanism, strengthen the main responsibility of the city, adjust measures to local conditions, and take multiple measures to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

What measures will be taken to solve the outstanding housing problem in big cities?

Wang: The housing prices in big cities are high, and there are also some problems in the leasing market, such as unreasonable supply structure, irregular market order and unstable leasing relationship. The housing difficulties of new citizens and young people, especially those engaged in basic public services, are more prominent. To solve the outstanding housing problems in big cities, we should pay attention to solving the housing difficulties of this group.

First, speed up the construction of a housing security system with affordable rental housing and * * * property housing as the main body. Affordable rental housing includes public rental housing and policy rental housing. Among them, public rental housing is mainly for urban registered housing and families with "double difficulties" in income, and policy rental housing is mainly for new citizens without housing.

The second is to focus on the development of policy-based rental housing in big cities with net population inflow. In conjunction with relevant departments, in accordance with the requirements of the Central Economic Work Conference, accelerate the improvement of land, taxation, finance and other support policies. For example, separate the rental housing land plan, explore the use of collective construction land and idle land owned by enterprises and institutions to build rental housing and so on.

The third is to standardize the development of the housing rental market. Promote the introduction of the "Regulations on Housing Leasing" and accelerate the improvement of the long-term rental policy. Rectify and standardize the order of the leasing market, and intensify the rectification of "AG low payment", "long payment and short payment" and the illegal establishment of a fund pool. Reduce the tax burden of rental housing and reasonably control the rent level.

The fourth is to support the development of * * * property housing in big cities with net population inflow, and the supply scope is mainly for registered population and gradually expanded to permanent population.

The fifth is to carry out a pilot project for flexible employees to participate in the housing provident fund system and housing provident fund to support the development of rental housing.
