Property prices not yet at an acceptable level: Tharman
By Fiona Chan
PROPERTY prices in Singapore still have "some ways to go" before they reach an acceptable level, according to Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam.
"We're still in a wrong part of the cycle," he told Bloomberg Television in an interview on Thursday.
Mr Tharman said the process of property prices becoming appropriate would "happen through a combination of income improvement, as well as prices certainly not going up further".
"Some correction in prices will not be out of order," he added.
