Chefen for den kinesiske centralbank siger, at rettighederne for Evergrandes aktionærer og kreditorer “fuldt ud vil blive respekteret”. Det er den hidtil mest klare udmelding fra Kina, der er i gang med en gennemgribende sanering af ejendomsgiganten. Det er centralbankchefen Yi Gang, der gav garantien på et møde i Hongkong i dag. Han tilføjede, at krisen i den kinesiske ejendomssektor ikke vil underminere Hongkongs kapitalmarked.
Rights of Evergrande shareholders, creditors to be respected, says China central bank chief
The rights of shareholders and creditors of cash-strapped property developer China Evergrande Group (EGRNF) will be “fully respected” based on their legal seniorities, central bank governor Yi Gang said on Thursday.
The risk caused by a few Chinese real estate companies in the short term will not undermine Hong Kong’s capital market, he told a financial forum in the Asian financial hub.
Evergrande’s missed deadline this week on debt payment has put it at risk of becoming China’s biggest defaulter, with $300 billion in liabilities, even as hopes for a managed debt restructuring calmed fears of a messy collapse.
