MNI China Press Digest, Nov 23: Housing, OMO, Private Firms

MNI (London)
     BEIJING (MNI) - The following lists highlights from Friday's China press:
     CHINA PRESS: The PBOC's 20+ day suspension of reverse repos, the longest
run of passes since 2016, does not mean a tightening of monetary policy,
Securities Daily said in a front-page commentary Friday, responding to the
market's concern over current liquidity. 
- The PBOC's current focus is to guide liquidity released into the real economy,
therefore keeping the liquidity at a reasonable and ample level is central to
keeping its monetary transmission mechanisms flowing, the Daily said. (Link to

     CHINA PRESS: It is more important right now to help private-sector
enterprises obtain financing than to lower their financing cost, China
Securities Journal said Friday. - Private-sector firms are struggling with
insufficient collateral and limited financing channels and currently rely mainly
on bank loans. 
-Therefore, it is necessary to moderately expand the scope of eligible
collateral and aid the private sector via bonds, credit and equity financing.

     The next step for China's government should be a focus on a good supply of
housing in order to curb high housing prices instead of further tightening
regulations, The Beijing News reported Friday, citing Li Tie, chief economist at
the National Development and Reform Commission's City and Small Town Centre. 
-Large-scale speculation in the housing market has been curbed under purchase
limits and tight credit, and the impact will be felt for many years, the
newspaper said citing Li. 
- House price pressure can be alleviated through better town and transportation
planning, Li adds. For example, building city railways to connect small towns
around the downtown area can shorten commuting time and encourage home buyers.
