中新網11月1日電 據紐西蘭天維網報道,當地時間10月31日下午,紐西蘭總理傑辛達·阿德恩(Jacinda Ardern)宣佈,從明年年初開始,海外投機者將無法購買紐西蘭房産。

以下英文部分為紐西蘭總理傑辛達·阿德恩(Jacinda Ardern)政策問答原文。

We are determined to make it easier for Kiwis to buy their first home so we are stopping foreign speculators buying houses and driving up prices.

我們決定讓紐西蘭首次購房者買房變得更加容易,所以我們決定阻止海外投機者購買紐西蘭房産炒高房價。

政策將如何實現?

That is why we are introducing an amendment to the Overseas Investment Act to classify residential housing as “sensitive”. This means non-residents or non-citizens cannot purchase existing residential dwellings.

我們將通過修改現有的《海外投資法》(Overseas Investment Act),將民用住宅定義為敏感資産。這也意味著非紐西蘭居民或紐西蘭國籍人士將無法購買現有房産。

政策將何時實現?

We expect legislation to be introduced before Christmas and take effect immediately once passed early in 2018. This will fulfil one of our key 100 Day Plan pledges.

我們計劃在耶誕節之前提出具體的法律改變,2018年上半年通過後立即開始執行。這將是我們競選時承諾的“百日維新”的關鍵部分。

是否會違反已簽署的FTA(自由貿易)協議?

The advice we have had from officials is that we can give effect to the ban by a simple amendment to the Overseas Investment Act without breaching any agreement except the Singapore Closer Economic Partnership. The options with Singapore will be worked through.

我們從相關官員那裏得到的建議是,通過修改《海外投資法》( Overseas Investment Act),就可以在不違反已有協議的情況下,阻止海外買家購買紐西蘭房産。

受影響的協議僅有“與新加坡更緊密的經貿夥伴關係”(Singapore Closer Economic Partnership),不過我們與新加坡的協議近期即將重啟談判(renegotiation soon),所以問題不大。

是否會影響TPP協議?

The proposed change means we can move our focus away from land issues at the negotiating table at APEC when negotiations on the TPP reach their final stages, and focus on Investor State Dispute Settlement clauses.

今日提出的改變意味著在APEC(亞太經合組織)會議上,TPP談判進入最後階段時,紐西蘭政府可以在將主要的注意力,從土地問題轉移到ISDS( investor state dispute settlement)問題上。所謂ISDS,即“投資者—國家爭端解決”,指的是如果外國投資者的權益遭受東道國不法措施的侵害,其只能尋求母國的外交保護。

We remain determined to do our utmost to amend the ISDS provisions of TPP. In addition, Cabinet has today instructed trade negotiation officials to oppose ISDS in any future free trade agreements.

我們仍將竭盡全力修正TPP中關於ISDS的相關條款。今天內閣已經指示負責貿易談判的工作人員,在未來的自由貿易談判中反對ISDS條款。

國會中各黨派是否支援新政?

The change we have announced today are supported by all parties to the government.

我們今天宣佈的新政策已經得到了現任政府中各黨派的支援。

澳大利亞人還能來紐西蘭買房嗎?

Australians will be exempt as New Zealanders are in Australia.

澳大利亞人將會得到豁免,就像紐西蘭人在澳大利亞得到豁免一樣。
