China Vanke, China’s biggest listed property developer, has said it expected to see a greater supply of new homes later in the year in a robust market, and said it would revise its 2009 target for housing starts.The Chinese developer, which posted a 22.5% rise in first-half profit to RMB2.5 billion ($366 million), said housing supply was expected to increase significantly as corporations began to accelerate the pace of project development and as enterprises’ investment appetite gradually returned.
President Yu Liang, said, "Market supply is expected to grow substantially at the end of 2009. By that time, the issue of insufficient new housing supply will be alleviated."
