The arrival of 2024 means a new beginning, but it also means that it is full of unknowns and challenges. Looking back on the past year, our country has made great achievements in epidemic control, and the economy is gradually recovering. However, the first half of 2024 still faces some important phenomena and trends. This article will summarize five phenomena that may occur in the first half of 2024 and provide relevant analysis and recommendations to help readers better prepare for the challenges ahead.
In the past few years, residents' deposits have been an important support for China's economy. However, after the pandemic, young people are also becoming more and more conscious of savings. A large number of data indicate that household deposits increased by a staggering 1442 trillion yuan. This is also closely related to people's concerns about unexpected events such as unemployment, illness, etc. In addition, the uncertainty of the investment environment has also made some people more willing to choose to deposit their money in a fixed bank deposit rather than take the risk of risky investments. The enhancement of residents' awareness of deposits not only reflects the improvement of personal risk awareness, but also provides more protection for personal future development and emergency response.
Since 2023, the real estate market has seen a major adjustment, and housing prices have shown a trend. In this case, in order to stimulate the demand for home purchases, the mortgage interest rate has been reduced. Mortgage rates across the country have fallen to record lows. It is foreseeable that with the further adjustment of the real estate market, the mortgage interest rate of some banks will be further reduced, providing more favorable loan conditions for home buyers. Therefore, the first half of 2024 could be a very favorable time for those who have the need to buy a home.
Prices in China have become the norm, and at the same time, due to loose monetary policy and capital flows to the commodity market, some commodities have also been rising. According to **, domestic prices will continue in 2024**. Therefore, if there is a need to buy, it is advisable to buy as soon as possible and stock up on some items appropriately to avoid paying more for expensive goods after the price of goods.
In 2023, China's real estate market will show a situation of "both volume and price", and housing prices will show a trend. This trend will continue in 2024, with the possibility of further correction in house prices. This is mainly due to the abolition of the price limit policy in various places, so that developers have more power to decide whether to reduce the price and how much. At the same time, the popularity of the second-hand housing market will also increase the pressure on housing price adjustment, and many sellers may also take the initiative to reduce prices in order to be able to ** the property faster. As a result, buyers have the opportunity to buy their desired property at a lower price.
In recent years, the marriage rate in China has continued to decline, while the divorce rate has shown an upward trend. This is mainly due to the changing perception of marriage among young people. Marriage means that they are burdened with heavy mortgages, bride prices and other expenses, coupled with various pressures in marriage, which makes them reluctant to enter the palace of marriage easily. In addition, with the increase in flash marriages, many young couples find that they are not suitable for each other after getting along for a while, so they choose to divorce. It is expected that in 2024, the marriage rate will continue to decline and the divorce rate will continue to rise.
With the deepening of China's aging population, the problem of old-age care is becoming increasingly prominent. According to statistics, by the end of 2022, the elderly population over the age of 60 has reached 2800 million people, and it is expected to exceed 300 million by 2025. This has undoubtedly brought great pressure and opportunities to the pension distribution and pension service industry. It is expected that in 2024, more and more ** and private capital will be invested in the construction of nursing homes to meet the needs of the elderly. At the same time, there will be a significant increase in the demand for caregivers who care for the elderly. Therefore, the pension industry will usher in new development opportunities, providing broad development prospects for relevant practitioners and capital.
In the first half of 2024, we can foresee important phenomena such as the enhancement of residents' awareness of saving money, the further reduction of mortgage interest rates, the continuation of prices**, the further adjustment of housing prices, the decline in the marriage rate and the increase in the divorce rate, and the development opportunities of the pension industry. These phenomena are closely related to the current domestic economic and social situation and will have an impact on each and every one of us. Therefore, it is important to understand and prepare in advance to adapt and respond to the challenges and changes ahead.
