China plans to inject 4 trillion yuan ($562 billion) into its struggling property sector by year-end. This move aims to stabilize the market, focusing on unfinished housing projects. The government will expand a "white list" of eligible developments, guiding bank lending. As of now, 2.23 trillion yuan has been approved, with expectations for at least 4 trillion yuan by 2024's end.
