SAFE could invest part of forex reserves in US real estate


SAFE could invest part of Forex reserves in US real estate

The Chinese State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) is studying an option to invest part of its US $3.4 trillion in foreign-exchange reserves in US realty. SAFE made this move after noticing recovery signs in the US property market. Actions by China may include purchasing properties, investing in realty funds, or acquiring stakes in property firms. China has already put together a New York operation to make alternative investments, constituting an attempt by SAFE to branch out from only purchasing US government debt, according to Chinese State run media.
