16日闭幕的中央经济工作会议提出，中国将继续坚持房地产市场调控政策不动摇，同时要继续加强保障性住房建设和管理，加快棚户区改造。
Beijing (CNS) -- China's top leaders have vowed to adopt more measures to control the property market next year, an expert said Sunday following the conclusion of a central economic work conference.
Zhou Jingtong, a senior analyst from the International Financial Institute at the People's Bank of China, said the central government's determination to control the real estate market had met insiders' general expectations. A property tax on housing might be among the new measures to control prices, he added.
Despite a string of policies over the last two and half years, high real estate prices remain stubborn, Zhou said.
Because of a low proportion of indemnificatory housing and limited investment methods, if such policies are removed, housing prices might rebound dramatically, he said.
