Does China’s Property Market Present Grand Risks?

October 19, 2021

October 2021 Newsletter | CPD NOW AVAILABLE | In this newsletter we analyse two topics. First, we consider the potential implications for the Australian and global economies associated with the possible collapse of Evergrande, China’s second largest property developer. Secondly, we discuss our views on Eagers, Australia’s largest automotive dealership group and a core holding in the Auscap portfolio.

Multiple Choice Test - Does China’s Property Market Present Grand Risks?

This activity meets the guidelines for qualifying CPD, and has been accredited for continuing professional development by the Financial Planning Association of Australia but does not constitute FPA's endorsement of the activity. Accreditation number 25411 for 0.75 hours. * Pass rate of 80% required *

1. A significant driver of Chinese economic growth over the last two decades has been:

The residential real estate market

China has had no economic growth over the last two decades

It is too hard to determine any drivers of China's economic growth over the last two decades

2. In August 2020, the Chinese Government adopted a policy that is used to assess the allowable growth in debt for property developers. The measures in this policy include:

A liability to asset ratio of less than 70%

A net gearing ratio of less than 100%

A cash to short term debt ratio of more than 100%

All of the above

3. Evergrande is at risk of default due to:

Not meeting 1 out of 3 measures in the ‘3 red lines’ policy

Failing all 3 of the measures in the ‘3 red lines’ policy

The buildings it has developed having building faults and defects

None of the above

4. Barclays recently estimated that if Evergrande’s development activity fell 50% it would:

Have very little impact on the Chinese property market

Reduce development by 4% across the country and potentially cause a 10% contraction in the property market

Cause a 50% fall in development across China

Cause no change to the prices in Chinese property market

5. China produces what percentage (%) of the world's steel:

20%

5%

56%

Less than 45%

6. India is the second largest producer of steel followed by Japan:

True

False

India and Japan produce the same amount of steel

Iran produces more steel than India and Japan

7. Australian vehicle sales have been depressed since 2018, which has been driven by:

Large credit contraction, falling property prices from 2017 to 2019 and COVID-19

Australian vehicle sales have not been depressed since 2018

The average Australian vehicle is only 2-years old, so it is not expected that there would be a high number of vehicle sales

None of the above

8. Australian vehicle sales are only annualsing:

2.1 million units – the same level as 2008

0.5 million units – the same level as 2008

1.1 million units – the same level as 2008

3.5 million units – the same level as 2008
