China Evergrande stares into the void as interest deadline passes

September 24, 2021 by David Barret Leave a Comment

September 24, 2021

NEW YORK (Reuters) – A deadline passed on Thursday for China Evergrande, the world’s most indebted property company, to pay $83.5 million in interest on a dollar bond. With $305 billion in liabilities, Evergrande is struggling to meet debt obligations and global markets are watching for signs of default.

Here is a timeline of this week’s developments.

MONDAY, SEPT. 20:

Evergrande shares in Hong Kong hit lowest level since 2010. Global equity markets wobble on contagion fears. The S&P 500 suffers its biggest one-day drop in four months.

S&P Global Ratings says it does not expect Beijing to provide any direct support to the company.

The cost of insuring China against default rises to near one-year high. Yuan currency comes under pressure.

TUESDAY, SEPT 21:

The company will “walk out of its darkest moment” and resume full-scale construction as soon as possible, the developer’s chairman says in a letter to staff.

Evergrande missed interest payments due Monday to at least two of its largest bank creditors, Bloomberg reports. The missed payments had been expected as China’s housing ministry had said the company would be unable to pay on time.

Fund giant BlackRock and investment banks HSBC and UBS have been among the largest buyers of Evergrande’s debt, Morningstar data shows.

Bank of America cuts China growth forecast.

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 22:

Evergrande holds an internal meeting and its chairman urges executives to ensure the quality delivery of properties and redemption of wealth management products.

Evergrande agrees to settle interest payments on a domestic bond. The Chinese central bank injects cash into the banking system.

U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell says the Evergrande debt problems seem particular to China and does not see a parallel with the U.S. corporate sector.

The Swiss central bank governor says it would be wrong to dismiss the Evergrande situation as a small local problem.

THURSDAY, SEPT. 23:

Chinese Estates Holdings, the second-biggest shareholder of Evergrande, plans to exit its holding completely.

Wall Street Journal reports Chinese authorities asked local governments to prepare for the potential downfall of Evergrande.

A handful of Chinese real estate developers have ratings downgraded by agencies as concern swirls about their debt and repayment abilities.

FRIDAY, SEPT 24:

A Thursday deadline for paying $83.5 million in interest of a dollar bond passed without remark from Evergrande, and bondholders had neither been paid nor heard from the company. Evergrande has a 30-day grace period.

China Evergrande’s electric car unit warns that without a strategic investment or the sale of assets it faces an uncertain future with its ability to pay staff and suppliers and mass-produce vehicles at risk.

Some Chinese banks, insurers and shadow banks stop offering new credit to property developers.

China’s central bank again injects cash into the banking system.
