China's recently relaxed capital controls could bode well for global housing markets, reports the New Zealand Herald (14 September 2017). This includes New Zealand, which is currently the sixth most popular destination for Chinese buyers according to Juwai.com, China's leading real estate website. "We expect 2017 to be one of the two or three biggest years yet on record for Chinese international real estate acquisitions. China is reversing a range of measures it has put in place to support its currency," said Jane Lu, Head of Australia for Juwai.com. Lu further shared that capital controls could be further eased in the future, which could very likely boost Chinese real estate investment abroad.
