Guangzhou Housing Provident Fund Management Center issued a notice easing Withdrawal rules. Contributors may apply to withdraw their housing provider fund balances to purchase owner-occupied housing anywhere in China. For non-mortgage purchases within Guangzhou’s administrative area, withdrawals can be applied for after payment of the purchase price. For non-mortgage purchases outside Guangzhou, withdrawals can be applied for six months after payment. For mortgage purchases, withdrawals can be applied after the housing loan is disbursed and before the loan is fully repaid.
