More people favor stocks or deposits over owning land as a means of investing money for the first time since the government began a poll on the matter roughly a decade ago, according to a draft government report.

The fiscal 2000 draft white paper on land policy by the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Ministry was submitted Tuesday to a policy panel of the Liberal Democratic Party.

The draft, which also recommends measures to thaw the nation's frozen real estate market, will be adopted by the Cabinet in June.
