▍原文

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has proposed a two-year ban on some foreigners buying homes.

The measure comes as the country grapples with some of the worst housing affordability issues in the world.

Prices have jumped more than 20%, pushing the average home in Canada to nearly C$817,000 – more than nine times household income. But industry analysts say it's not clear a ban on foreign buyers will address the problem.

▍复述文本

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has put forward a two-year ban on some foreigners buying homes.

The measure comes as Canada grapples with some of the worst housing affordability issues in the world.

You probably won’t believe it, but prices have jumped more than 20%. It really pushes the average home in Canada to nearly C$817,000 – that’s about ¥410,000. It’s more than nine times household income. I’m really not sure what people are going to do with it. But industry analysts say it's not clear a ban on foreign buyers will address the problem.
