Caixin: 央行加急发文 敦促银行合理控制房贷比
Recently, the central bank expedited the issue of "good credit policy work," a paper, which for the mortgage policy, the document clearly requires: the People's Bank branches to strengthen the guidance of commercial banks, urging them to optimize the credit structure, reasonable control of the mortgage ratio and Growth rate.

In addition, but also to increase the down payment of funds and proof of authenticity of income.

Hai Tong Securities chief economist Jiang Chao quoted media reports, said a central bank official said the new loans accounted for from 45% to 30%. But according to the new financial reporter learned from the central bank, Beijing is difficult to achieve the exact proportion of control, but indeed from various efforts to suppress the new loans in the proportion of individual loans.

He pointed out that last year, especially in the second half of last year, some cities in the new loans, 80% are mortgages.
The high water mark was last July, when mortgages were 102 percent of new bank lending.

The central banks wants to control money creation, but if too much money flows into the real estate sector the real economy will be starved. Add in the central government's desire to prevent a housing bubble, and it's recipe for heavy-handed central planning once again. The fruits of which we're already starting to see with Monday's cash crunch in the financial market.
