Winston Peters Hints at Potential Easing of Foreign Buyer Ban
Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters has indicated that New Zealand First may be open to relaxing the foreign house buyer ban for ultra-wealthy investors[1][2].
【澳纽网编译报道】副总理温斯顿·彼得斯暗示,新西兰优先党可能会考虑为超高净值投资者放宽外国房屋买家禁令[1][2]。
In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Peters suggested that the party would consider allowing foreign buyers to purchase homes if they were investing significantly in New Zealand, potentially around $50 million[1]. This marks a shift from the coalition agreement with National, which stated there would be no repeal of the foreign buyer’s residential property ban[1].
在最近接受彭博社采访时,彼得斯表示,如果外国买家在新西兰进行大规模投资(可能在5000万新西兰元左右),该党将考虑允许他们购买房产[1]。这与新西兰优先党和国家党的联合协议有所不同,该协议曾表示不会撤销外国买家的住宅物业禁令[1]。
Peters argued that such high-value investments would be in the nation’s economic interest[1]. He stated that lifting the ban for purchases at a threshold “meaningfully higher” than $2 million “might be an inevitable conclusion”[1].
彼得斯认为,这种高价值投资将符合国家的经济利益[1]。他表示,对于”显著高于”200万新西兰元的购买门槛解除禁令”可能是一个不可避免的结论”[1]。
The foreign buyer ban was introduced by the Labour government in 2018, aiming to make home prices more affordable for locals[2]. However, critics argue that the ban has deterred valuable foreign investment[2][3].
外国买家禁令由工党政府于2018年推出,旨在使房价对当地人更加负担得起[2]。然而,批评者认为,这一禁令阻碍了有价值的外国投资[2][3]。
Real estate industry leaders have called for a rethink of the ban, claiming it has cost the country potential investment[3]. Mark Harris, managing director of New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty, stated that the current rules make it “insanely difficult” for foreign investors to enter the New Zealand market[3].
房地产业领袖呼吁重新考虑这一禁令,称其使国家失去了潜在的投资机会[3]。新西兰苏富比国际房地产公司董事总经理马克·哈里斯表示,目前的规定使外国投资者进入新西兰市场”极其困难”[3]。
While the government has previously indicated it does not plan to revisit the foreign buyer ban, Peters’ recent comments suggest there may be room for discussion on this issue[1][3].
尽管政府此前表示不打算重新审视外国买家禁令,但彼得斯最近的言论表明,这个问题可能有讨论的空间[1][3]。
As New Zealand seeks to attract foreign investment and boost its economy, the debate over the foreign buyer ban is likely to continue. Any changes to the policy would need to balance economic benefits with concerns about housing affordability for New Zealand residents.
随着新西兰寻求吸引外国投资并促进经济发展,关于外国买家禁令的争论可能会继续。对该政策的任何改变都需要在经济利益和新西兰居民住房负担能力的担忧之间取得平衡。
