Chinese shares buoyed but rest of Asia flat on China growth
– canadianbusiness.com
TOKYO – Chinese shares were buoyed but the rest of Asian stock markets were largely flat Tuesday after China’s quarterly economic growth met expectations, calming some of the investor jitters in the region.
KEEPING SCORE: China’s Shanghai Composite was up 2.5 per cent at 2,985.24 and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng gained 1.4 per cent to 19,507.55. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 added 0.9 per cent to 4,903.10. Japan’s Nikkei 225 stayed the same, inching down 0.02 per cent to 16,952.85. South Korea’s Kospi added 0.3 per cent to 1,883.60. Other regional markets were mixed, gaining in Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand and New Zealand, while falling in Indonesia and the Philippines.
CHINA ECONOMY: China’s economic growth edged down to 6.8 per cent in the final quarter of 2015 as trade and consumer spending weakened. The quarterly growth figure was the weakest in six years and 6.9 per cent growth for the full year was the lowest in 25 years. That was in line with market expectations but some analysts had forecast a much sharper slowdown…

B.C. wrestles with real estate taxes to cool rising housing prices
– canadianbusiness.com
VICTORIA – Real estate economists want British Columbia’s government to tax foreign property owners and speculators despite Finance Ministry forecasts that the province could lose $1 billion in sales and up to 4,000 construction jobs.
Premier Christy Clark has said housing relief for first-time home buyers is a concern as the government prepares to deliver its budget next month, but she has shot down previous requests for speculation and luxury taxes on foreign investors to cool rising prices.
Thomas Davidoff, a housing economist at the Sauder School of Business, said Monday real estate experts from B.C. universities and business schools have proposed a 1.5-per-cent tax on vacant residential properties to create more rental properties and increase affordability.
The Housing Affordability Fund plan comes as rental-vacancy rates in Vancouver slipped below one per cent last year and the average selling price for a single-family home on the city’s west side is above $2.5 million…
