Ltd<\/a><\/b> (&#8220;CIFI&#8221; or&#13;<br \/>\nthe &#8220;Group&#8221;, HKEx stock code: 884), a leading real estate developer engaged in&#13;<br \/>\nproperty development and investment business mainly in the first-, second- and&#13;<br \/>\nquasi-second-tier cities in China, is pleased to announce its annual results&#13;<br \/>\nfor the year ended 31 December 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>The Group expects a steady development of China&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\nreal estate market in 2021 that new construction remains at a high level, sales&#13;<br \/>\nin first- and second-tier cities continue to be driven by\u00a0 consumption upgrades, and sales are expected&#13;<br \/>\nto hit record high. In terms of land market, due to the tightening of financing&#13;<br \/>\nchannels for real estate developers and the concentration of land supply in 22&#13;<br \/>\ncities in phases, reasonable resource allocation and profitability&#13;<br \/>\nconsiderations will pose greater challenges to operation capacity. Developers&#13;<br \/>\nwill be more prudent in land acquisition, and transaction will become more rational.&#13;<br \/>\nIndustry consolidation will accelerate, resulting in increasing concentration.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>The Group has penetrated into the Yangtze River&#13;<br \/>\nDelta region. In the early years, it focused on all core cities in the&#13;<br \/>\nShanghai-Rim Metropolis with Shanghai as the centre, while putting emphasis on the&#13;<br \/>\nPan Bohai Rim Region and Shandong Province. In recent years, more efforts have been&#13;<br \/>\nmade\u00a0 to cover the core cities around the&#13;<br \/>\nGreater Bay Area metropolis, and the Chengdu-Chongqing real estate market has&#13;<br \/>\nbeen further developed. It is believed that the national layout will enable the&#13;<br \/>\nGroup to obtain benefits during the process of this round of urbanization.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>In 2021, the Group&#8217;s contracted sales target is&#13;<br \/>\nRMB265 billion, and it has sufficient saleable resources to support the&#13;<br \/>\ncompletion of the full-year contracted sales target. Currently, the Group has&#13;<br \/>\ncovered 89 cities across the country and established presence in 7 regions.&#13;<br \/>\nDiversified land bank and premium project reserves have laid a solid foundation&#13;<br \/>\nfor the growth of the Group&#8217;s\u00a0 contracted&#13;<br \/>\nsales. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p><b>Mr. Lin Zhong, Chairman&#13;<br \/>\nand Executive Director of the Group <\/b>said, &#8220;We believe&#13;<br \/>\nthat the central government&#8217;s advocacy of the real estate policy tone that &#8220;houses&#13;<br \/>\nare built to be inhabited, not for speculation&#8221;, &#8220;renting and acquiring at the&#13;<br \/>\nsame time&#8221; and &#8220;differentiated policies for different cities&#8221; will remain&#13;<br \/>\nunchanged. We expect&#13;<br \/>\nthe various restrictive policies to continue in the near future. The Group&#13;<br \/>\nwill uphold the long-term development strategy, persistently improve the corporate&#13;<br \/>\noperation efficiency, continue to enhance its brand advantages and put emphasis&#13;<br \/>\non product innovation, follow the principle of prudent management of finance,&#13;<br \/>\nand build up the strengths to defend the market volatility. Meanwhile, the Group&#13;<br \/>\nputs great significance on promoting its management standard on environmental&#13;<br \/>\nprotection, social responsibility and corporate governance, which will be&#13;<br \/>\nuplifted to the level of the Group&#8217;s strategic planning. We pledge full&#13;<br \/>\ncommitment to forging CIFI as one of the Fortune Global 500 with outstanding results,&#13;<br \/>\npersistent performance of social responsibility and excellent corporate&#13;<br \/>\ngovernance, and create encouraging returns for shareholders.&#8221; <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/2021-03-25\/70609\/cifis-total-profit-grew-by-28-7-to-rmb11-9-billion-in-2020\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CIFI Group Announces 2020 Annual Results &#13; &#13; Total profit grew by 28.7% to RMB11.9 billion&#13; exceeding RMB10 billion for the first time Core net profit to equity owners of the Company increased&#13; by 16.3%\u00a0to a new record high of RMB8.03 billion Dividend growing continuously since IPO and\u00a0final dividend of 29 HK cents per share &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[60],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13668"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13668"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13668\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
