The Zhitong Finance App learned that Dongxing Securities released a research report saying that the central government's policy goals for the real estate market are changing from maintaining stability to promoting stability, and the implementation of subsequent policies will continue to be active. The current real estate demand-side policy is conducive to the stabilization of the core city market with good support on the demand side. China Resources Land (01109), China Resources Land (01109), China Merchants Shekou (001979.SZ), and Greentown China (03900) are expected to benefit. Strengthening the “white list” and the principle of marketization have a good credit support effect for high-quality housing enterprises that still have market-based management capabilities, and Longhu Group (00960) and others are expected to benefit.

China Resources Land, China Resources Land, China Merchants Shekou, and Greentown China are expected to benefit.
