China to continue regulating land supply for housing construction

 　　BEIJING, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- China will continue its regulation of land supply for housing use in 2013 to promote the stability of land market and healthy economic growth, a senior land and resources official said on Friday.

　　Xu Shaoshi, minister of land and resources, made the remarks at a national meeting on land and resources here.

　　Xu said China will intensify¹ macro-control on land and monitoring of major real estate enterprises. China will also step up supervision² on supplied housing land and punish those who violate land using regulations.

　　The Ministry³ of Land and Resources (ML) sets the annual average of actual land supplies over the past five years the minimum supply level for housing construction in 2013, Xu said.

　　China's residential⁴ land supplies in the first 11 months last year dropped by 15.3 percent from the same period in 2011, according to MLR data.
