New Zealand is planning to ban foreign buyers from purchasing existing homes in an attempt to tackle a housing crisis by halting a trend among the world’s wealthy to snap up property in the country. 为了应对住房危机,新西兰正计划禁止外国人购买现房,从而遏制住全世界的有钱人在新西兰抢购房产的势头。 The restrictions announced by the prime minister-designate, Jacinda Ardern, are likely to be closely watched by other countries around the world also facing housing shortages and price rises driven by foreign investors. At 37, Ardern has become New Zealand’s youngest leader for 150 years. 新西兰新当选总理杰辛达•阿德恩公布的这项购房禁令将会受到世界上其他同样面临住房短缺和由外国投资者引起的房价上涨的国家的密切关注。37岁的阿德恩是新西兰150年来最年轻的领导人。 |
