According to a new research, Chinese property developers have more than $25 billion in cash on their books, but they are hesitant to spend it until market worries are resolved.  adhunter According to Reuters, which analyzed data from 76 Chinese real estate management and development businesses, including prominent heavyweights such as Shimao Property Holdings and Greentown China Holdings, China's real estate management and development companies raised more than $16 billion via offshore bonds and loans in the first eight months of 2013, up 36 percent over the same period in 2012.

In China, free-trade zones are the rage, sending real-estate investors into a frenzy despite a lack of clarity on how they will operate and what types of trade would be allowed. The extent to which business will shift in the extremely limited mainland market is a hot topic of dispute.  adhunt When Shanghai's zone was approved in July and officially announced at the end of September, just before the weeklong National Day vacation that began on October 1, it created the biggest sensation. "It's just supposition until we know what's really going on there." According to local sources, property values in and near the free-trade zone have risen 15 to 20% since the declaration in July. However, it needs to be seen whether those advantages are justified by the zone's underlying business potential. Some detractors claim that the zone's introduction has had the effect of driving up property values rather than easing trade. "Many people were excited about this, ...

Japan does not fully reflect its rich, complex nature and everything that makes up the Japanese identity—its long imperial history, distinctive language, Shinto and Buddhist practices, fine cuisine and exquisite art, discipline and work degree, a fascinating Samurai culture, its role in both world wars, the timelessness of its rural history. Japan is not entirely committed to pop culture. Japan is fascinating forever.  adhunters Japan's position on the edge of the Northern Asia-Pacific region contributes to its diverse climates and geography. There are six identified climate zones with milder climates in the southern region of Kyushu, while the northern island of Hokkaido is well known for its harsh winter weather. The island-archipelago belongs to the Pacific Ring of Fire, also vulnerable to erosion and volcanic activity. Tremors are common and tsunamis occur occasionally in certain areas. About three-fourths of the land of Japan is covered by mountains and rolling ground. Japan...

During Nasser's Arab Socialism period, the law of the landlord and tenant in Egypt was highly protective of Egyptian tenants and of their households' interests. Foreign ownership was no longer welcome in Egypt and was severely restricted during this period. As a result, real estate investment declined and Egypt soon faced housing problems due to its rapidly expanding population. Housing owners were no longer prepared to rent their properties because the rent income was unrealistically low and the eviction of tenants was virtually impossible.  directorys Egypt's modern houses of luxury In 1996, through Law No 4/1996 (as amended by Law No 137/2006), the Egyptian legislature completely decreased landlord and tenant relations, exempting all new rental arrangements from the rental control introduced by legislation at the socialist era, which began in the 1950's. This law abolishes earlier laws and instead restores the general provisions of the Egyptian Civil Code as the ...
