China preparing for Evergrande's downfall - WSJ

Thursday,   23-Sep-2021   04:20 PM (IST)

Chinese authorities are asking local governments to prepare for the potential downfall of debt-ridden China Evergrande Group, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday here, citing officials familiar with the discussion. The company, China’s second-biggest property developer, has $83.5 million in dollar-bond interest payments due on Thursday on a $2 billion offshore bond and a $47.5 million dollar-bond interest payment due next week. Both bonds would default if Evergrande fails to settle the interest within 30 days of the scheduled payment dates.
