Chinese retreat from Australian property as capital controls bite
14/09/2015, Financial Review
Chinese purchases of Australian property have dropped significantly in the past month, according to agents, as buyers struggle to shift money out of the country following Beijing's move to tighten capital controls.
One Chinese agent said the latest efforts by the central government to avoid large capital outflows were having a "significant impact" on his business.
"It has affected 70 to 80 per cent of current transactions and some have already been suspended," said the agent who asked not to be named.
The tighter foreign exchange rules are also set to impact the federal government's relaunched Significant Investor Visa (SIV), which provides fast-tracked residency for those investing at least $5 million into Australia.
"I think it will be big, big trouble for the SIV program because the amount of money is just too large," said one Shanghai-based adviser, who sells Australian property and advises wealthy clients on their migration plans.
Only seven SIV applications have been submitted since the new rules were introduced on July 1, which require investors to put their money into riskier assets such as venture capital and emerging companies.
China has previously tolerated significant capital outflows via so called "grey channels", but has tightened up enforcement in recent weeks as the economy slows and fears over capital flight put downward pressure on the currency.
The crackdown from Beijing has seen Chinese banks setting up watch lists for unusual transactions, according to one bank manager, who asked not to be named as he was not authorised to speak about the policy.
He said the operation was aimed at cracking down on a practice whereby family and friends of those wanting to purchase a property overseas all transfer US$50,000 into an overseas account. That's the limit each Chinese individual is allowed to move out of the country each year.
The purchaser then pays back his friends and family in China and uses the money from the overseas account to put down a deposit on the property.
However, banks are now tracking the source of funds for overseas bank accounts that have received more than US$200,000 within 90 days, according to the bank manager, who works in Shanghai for one of the major state-owned banks.
"We have always had this policy but now it has been restated and is being enforced more strictly," he said.
"In the past we could find a way around these rules but now all those ways have been blocked."
"I'm sure this would be having an impact on overseas property purchases," he said.
The crackdown is also said to be affecting trading companies, which have been asked to submit more supporting documents to verify transactions, according to a report in China Business News on Monday.
China's move to tighten its capital controls comes after the country's banks reported net capital outflows of $US109 billion in the first quarter of 2015, according to the Bank for International Settlements.
The People's Bank of China has also been spending record amounts of its foreign reserves to keep the yuan stable after it devalued the currency on August 11.
The devaluation, which came as a surprise, caused havoc on global markets as investors feared it signalled the economy was experiencing a sharper downturn than previously thought.
The tighter rules in China come as Sydney recorded its lowest auction clearance rate for the year this past weekend, while Melbourne has now recorded two weekends below the same time last year, according to Corelogic RP Data.
Credit Suisse estimates Chinese buyers account for around 15 per cent of all new home purchased in Australia and this proportion will rise to 20 per cent by 2020.

这个消息需要好好观察，如果仅仅是短期影响一下则问题不大。否则， 将是大麻烦。

只要习近平牢牢地控制住权利，这个政策是妥妥的，不可能是短期影响
看看澳门的赌博业近2年来的情况就知道，这几年利润大跌，因为没有贪官去赌博了

这种现象会蔓延到新西兰吗？
评论
如果不是短期影响，绝对蔓延到新西兰。

OH，NOOOOO！！！！

大家认识很多海外买家吗？

不是买家， 是钱。

我觉得想汇钱过来的还是有办法的。
最大影响可能是那些钱很多的土豪而已。

一针见血，我看到过几个在奥克兰的中国人（指有PR的或者是公民的）用国内的钱在这里大炒特炒房产的

也许， 但在目前这个风头上恐怕很多人不敢知难而上。就看这一阵风什么时候会过去。

Chill out! 放心啦，类似的消息年初就有了。嘛事也不会有。Experts all agree,Everything is fine.

恩，估计更多人旁观了。
也好，让房市淡一点也是好事

这只是 防止资金外逃 和 资金进出骗取出口退税的一种打击。 另外20万以上可以冻结，也给银行带来一笔不小的财富。 因为银行尝到甜头，以后会追查1年，2年，3年和4年内的。冻结这给银行内部人员带来了漏洞，一些冻结的钱会不翼而飞的。不管是当事人背景好和银行5,5分。还是被银行充公后，再‘分配’给‘工作人员’。
出口退税每年骗取中国 2000多亿，长久以往中国会空虚，因此在中国取消出口退税补贴前必须大力打击。
另外一个是 很多人投钱给 新西兰的 亲戚朋友，是 因为这里 涨的快， 如果一年涨还没20%，国内随便借给谁都可以拿到2分利息大家哄抢，何必把钱放新西兰呢。 如果涨不到20%，就会要回钱。 这时候 就面临着 大义灭亲，还是割肉卖的 选择了。 如果因为一笔钱 坏了国内的亲情，活在孤单的新西兰生命也没有存在的意义。
如果奥克兰房子不涨，借钱的人压力会越来越大，少部分人顶不住压力而变异。

上周的拍卖房子数据出来了？

假如你有好几个银行账户，那么国内汇钱的时候平均分款，不就不会触发20万的警戒线了么？
评论
我知道蛮多海外买家的。就是人没来过新西兰就买下两套房子那种。。。
我老婆就处理过这样的客人。。
有一个例子：留学的侄子在这里买了，舅舅也顺便打钱过来买，让侄子看一下就决定那种。
评论
国内汇款需要提供海外收款人的名字， 账号， 地址等信息。
账户可以不同， 但名字是同一个人。
当然你也可以用其他人的名字来接受汇款，但肯定麻烦了很多。
评论
这个要看买家的结构吧， 夸大海外买家的比例，就会得出结论这个政策会对房市有大影响。 如果买家主要是移民，或者是刚需（自住房）， 那么即便是每一个家庭都从海外转钱进来也只是会推高房价， 因为资金流进了 （中国资金流出）。
评论
阿海说得对，这个政策对土豪， 贪官影响最大， 不是针对中产阶级。
评论
问题是现在转钱没那么容易了啊。
