It may be becoming a financial risk,\u201d he further explained.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/china-lowest-gdp-growth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>More: GDP growth in China hits an all-time low<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The central bank of China said that they have already issued a warning against mortgages and consumer loans that lead to the rapid increase in household debt. In 2018, the housing loan to income rate reached 47.7 percent, a 3.7 percent increase compared to a year before.<\/p>\n<p>According to Fitch Ratings, consumer lending has also substantially grown, as the estimated outstanding balance of credit card receivables amounted to CNY7.23 trillion (USD1 trillion) during the first half of 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Fitch also revealed that more people are struggling to settle their credit card debts. The late payments on credit cards, as well as requests for credit card loans have risen substantially in the first half of 2019.<\/p>\n<p>As the government continues to prioritise consumption by enforcing tax cuts of up to CNY2 trillion, analysts doubt that this new policy will encourage spending among the locals due to the high debts in the world\u2019s second biggest economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the government strives to boost consumption amidst trade
