Olympics drive Chinese real estate sector

(I-Newswire) September 24, 2007 - The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, 2010 Shanghai World Expo and the expected appreciation of the yuan are acting to increase the number of foreign private equity funds investing in real estate projects in China, it has been revealed.

A report published by Zero2IPO found that private equity funds invested in China's real estate sector a combined 31 times in 2006.

This injection is valued at $3.037 billion and accounts for 46.6 per cent of the total level of overseas-derived monetary investment in China in the 12-month period.

According to Zero2IPO analyst Chu Wanglin, the popularity of the real estate sector in China with foreign private equity firms can also be attributed to an improved investment environment in the country and a shortage of capital in the industry, Asia Property Report reveals.

A further driver behind the expansion is the country's large consumption market and its rapid economic growth, Mr Chu continued.
