Zhengzhou Plans to Introduce New Housing Provident Fund Regulations and Jointly Launch Combined Loan Business for Existing Homes with Commercial Banks: The Zhengzhou Housing Provident Fund Management Center recently issued a notice to solicit public opinions on some housing provident fund policies. Among them, it is mentioned that in order to further leverage the role of housing provident fund in providing security and accelerate the establishment of a new model for real estate development, adjustments to certain housing provident fund deposit and usage policies are proposed. The contents of the consultation include: jointly launching combined loan business for existing homes (pre-owned properties) with commercial banks at an appropriate time. Implementing price evaluations for the homes purchased through existing home loans and "commercial loan to public loan" conversions. Trial implementation of the "loan-based deposit" policy for flexible-employment individuals who have already taken out housing provident fund loans, where their monthly housing provident fund contributions can be used to repay the principal and interest of the loan on a monthly basis.
