China Evergrande Real Estate Debt Default Could Spark Next Asian Financial Crisis And Worldwide Recession
The huge Chinese property company, Evergrande, is repaying investors in its wealth management business with property instead of cash this week. The world's most indebted real estate developer faces a crunch this week while investors fear a default.
Major banks have reportedly already been informed they will not receive interest payments on loans that are due this week and further interest payments of $84m (£61m) on the firm's bonds are due on Thursday.
The company's shares dropped by more than 10% in Hong Kong trade on Monday, but are down 90% on its 52 week high.
The multi-billion dollar property business deepening debt problems have triggered fears over the impact its potential collapse could have on China's, as well as the western world’s, economies.
Evergrande grew to be one of China's biggest companies by borrowing a massive $300bn (£217bn).
How will it affect the world if Evergrande collapses?
Thousands of Chinese investors riding the wave of a booming market have bought property from Evergrande ‘off-plan’ even before building work began. They have paid deposits and could potentially lose that money if it goes bust.
If Evergrande defaults, banks and other lenders may be forced to lend less.
This could lead to a 1997 Asian financial crisis or 2008 style credit crunch, when companies struggled to borrow money at affordable rates after the collapse of major financial institutions like Bear Sterns and Lehman Brothers, which plunged the western world into recession.
At the time, the relatively debt-free China helped to bail out America, but who can bail out China when western countries have already printed Trillions of dollars to save their own asses? Full article.
