Large Medium SmallProperty loans extended to Shanghai residents from January to the end of August reached 72.8 billion yuan ($11.8 billion), four times that of 2012, the People’s Bank of China’s Shanghai head office said on Monday.
In August alone, the combined value of property loans to Shanghai residents was 8.29 billion yuan, 0.9 billion yuan more than for July and 4.8 billion yuan more than in August 2012.
Analysts said intensive trading of apartments in Shanghai since April pushed up demand for personal house loans.
The fast growth in property loans is not expected to last as quotas for commercial banks for the loan category may be used up soon, analysts said.
