Reform of the Construction Industry. Transition to a New Mechanism of Housing Construction
In 2019 the construction industry will speed up its transit to a new housing financing mechanism through bank lending and escrow accounts. This will inevitably transform the construction industry and new banking instruments will emerge. Ultimately, the market will become more transparent, developers will become more reliable, and the problem of defrauded homebuyers will be resolved. What are the challenges that the industry will face over the next three years? What could be done to overcome them? Will the new financing mechanism impact construction volumes and its quality? How will bank lending and escrow accounts change developers’ business model? What will competition be like for developers? Will lower risk in the industry drive demand for housing under construction?
