A report released today by the IMF shows the Government’s inaction on the housing crisis is creating a significant risk to New Zealand’s economy, the Green Party said today.

在其新西兰使命：结题报告，国际货币基金组织呼吁在奥克兰建成更迫切的房屋，并为房屋投机者更多的税收优惠被删除 - 这绿党认为，应包括适当的资本利得税。

“When the IMF is saying you’ve stacked the system too much in favour of property investors, then you know you’re on the wrong track,” Green Party Co-leader Metiria Turei said today.

“国家是允许投机者在奥克兰和首次购房繁荣之苦，而IMF是说，它可能花费整个国家了。

“国家政府一直对住房瞎太久。他们甚至不会承认我们是在中间的危机，即使在平均房价在奥克兰头朝着一百万美元。

“The IMF says New Zealand needs to urgently build more houses but it concedes that that can’t happen fast enough so it says we should immediately reduce the incentives to invest in property.

“The IMF is essentially saying that the bright-line test is good but doesn’t go far enough.

“Meanwhile, we also now know that the Government’s attempt to increase housing supply in Auckland is a complete and utter failure.

“Just 102 houses have been built in the Government’s Special Housing Areas two years into the scheme. That is an appalling rate of return in anyone’s eyes.

“政府应利用其廉价融资的机会承接奥克兰一大型房屋建设项目。这是对的唯一途径脚踏启动匆忙保障房的供应。

“In the meantime, it should be banning non-resident foreign buyers from cherry-picking New Zealand properties, and introducing a proper capital gains tax on everything but the family home.

“These are the best ways to get speculators out of the market and let hard-working New Zealanders get into their first homes,” said Mrs Turei.
