Officials have publicly discussed utilizing tax measures, prompting speculation about a strengthening of property ownership taxes. This move comes ahead of a planned national debate on real estate policy, indicating a willingness to engage the public on potentially significant changes. The government aims to address concerns about rising housing prices and market instability. Details of the proposed tax revisions remain unclear, but the discussion suggests a focus on curbing speculation and increasing fairness in the property market.
