【新闻戴注】16萬歐元購房 支西班牙永恆居留權

　　西班牙噹侷儗推出新政，但凡購寘代價16萬歐元及以上房產的本國人，將可获得西班牙永恆居留權。該政策的主要目标人群為中國人跟俄羅斯人。自2008年房市泡沫決裂以來，西班牙大批房產果購寘者有力了償按掀而被銀止收回，到古朝銀行發出的空寘房產已逾越100萬套，西班牙的經濟也初終處於减退或癱瘓邊沿。對此項吸引中資的政策，西班牙最大年夜的工會組織UGT表現批駁，稱移仄易远政策根据勞能源市場的须要而定，那項政策只是給西班牙招往一些有錢又不坤活的富人罷了。

 

　　Spain is considering offering rich investors from countries such as Russia and China the right to settle in return for them buying up property in the stagnant housing sector.

　　Spain has more than a million empty homes across the country and is setting up a bad bank to clean up toxic assets from a housing bubble which burst in 2008.

　　Foreigners could be offered a residency permit if they buy a property worth 160,000 euros ($200,000) or more, the country's commerce secretary said on Monday.

　　"We're looking at markets such as the Russian or Chinese, among which there is already a strong demand for Spanish real estate," Jaime Garcia-Legaz said during a conference.

　　Garcia-Legaz said his ministry was consulting the other departments about the idea and gave no figures about how many foreign individuals might be tempted to buy in Spain in order to get Spanish residency.

　　The government is also trying to drum up interest among foreign investors in participating in its bad bank and will meet with five banks this week, sources told Reuters.

　　Spain's second largest union, the UGT, criticized the proposal, saying immigration policy should be based on the needs of the labor market.

　　"It wants to attract foreigners who are obviously rich and able to buy and can supposedly remain in Spain without working with the aim of getting rid of a stock of houses that are largely in the hands of the banks," said the UGT in a statement.

　　Spain's economy has been either in recession or near-paralyzed since 2008 after the decade-long property boom went sour, sending housing prices tumbling more than 30 percent.

　　Real estate prices are expected to fall up to 30 percent more before leveling out, economists say, while there is estimated to be more than a million homes around the country.

　　Spanish banks' bad loans ratio hit a new high in September, the Bank of Spain said on Monday, with massive unemployment and the economic downturn hitting Spaniards ability to repay their debts.
