Personal mortgage changes: disbursement timing can be delayed, loans must be disbursed via entrusted payments, maximum loan tenors may be extended, and banks are granted greater autonomy for debt restructurings. The guidance enumerates allowable real‑estate loan types by stage: development‑stage — commercial housing, affordable housing, rental development and commercial‑real‑estate development loans; sales‑stage — personal mortgages, group purchase loans for rental housing and commercial‑property purchase loans; operation‑stage — commercial property operating loans and rental‑operations loans.
