![]() ![]() What is currently happening results from past government policies, which have fuelled a credit-driven economic activity – latest policies aiming at putting the brakes on property sector growth. With Evergrande on the verge of bankruptcy, the Chinese government is facing another potential episode of financial turmoil. Evergrande’s collapse is spilling over to global markets, which are fearing contagion to the Chinese economy. ![]() Amid a slowing Chinese property sector, characterised by falling sales and slowing price increases, Evergrande is encountering an insurmountable cash crunch to face domestic and foreign debt servicing and reduce its debt burden in compliance with the tighter credit regulations imposed last year. As a result of its prolonged financial troubles, its shares have been plunging by more than 80% this year. With assistance from Qingqi She and Rebecca Choong Wilkins.Evergrande, the heavily indebted (over USD 300 billion) and second largest private property developer of China, is nearing default on offshore bonds. Meanwhile, a 1.44 billion yuan note is set to mature June 13. The first 10% of that bond’s principal repayments is due May 15, before three other dollar-bond coupons’ grace periods end. ![]() It was able to push out over 18 months a 4 billion yuan ($595 million) payment due April 1. The developer, which still hasn’t released 2021 results, reached a debt-payment crossroads this quarter after repeated downgrades from credit raters. At the same time, controlling shareholder and Chairman Sun Hongbin provided a $450 million interest-free personal loan to Sunac, among numerous property tycoons going into their own pockets to aid their firms. Sunac raised HK$7.4 billion ($945 million) in November from selling stock and a stake in its property-management unit. The following table shows dollar-bond coupons and interest coming due: Dollar bonds In Thursday’s filing, Sunac said that given its liquidity constraints, there’s no assurance it “will be able to meet its financial obligations when due or within the relevant grace periods.” Not paying when required or reaching a timely resolution with creditors “may result in the acceleration of relevant financial obligations or taking of enforcement actions,” it said. Its shares and dollar bonds have plunged some 80% since September, when a subsidiary’s letter to a local government requesting “special policy support” became public. It has $7.7 billion of dollar bonds outstanding - among the highest for Chinese developers, according to Bloomberg-compiled data. Sunac has been in the spotlight for months. Many others in the sector have exchanged or extended debt in order to preserve cash amid the home-sales weakness and firms’ inability to refinance offshore debt. Nearly all of this year’s public-bond defaults among Chinese issuers have been by developers. The payment in question was the first of four dollar-bond coupons initially due in April but which holders have told Bloomberg News weren’t paid. That opens the possibility of it being declared in default on the obligation, and could trigger cross-default on other offshore debt, the note’s prospectus shows. Sunac missed an initial deadline last month for a $29.5 million coupon payment on its 7.95% dollar bond maturing 2023, and had a 30-day grace period that expired Wednesday. Some of Sunac’s dollar bonds were indicated above 80 cents on the dollar as recently as February. The development is fueling concerns about a new wave of debt failures among real estate companies that until just several months ago were considered safer borrowers. Sunac is the biggest developer to miss a public bond payment this year. High-yield dollar bonds from Chinese issuers - the bulk of which come from property firms - are extending losses after dropping for a record eight straight months through April. ![]() More than a dozen builders have missed offshore note payments, including giant China Evergrande Group. Sunac appointed legal and financial advisers to help assess the firm’s capital structure and liquidity, according to the filing.Ĭhina’s property sector has been grappling with a debt crisis since last year, following a nationwide crackdown on excessive leverage and a string of defaults. China’s fourth-largest developer said in a filing to the Hong Kong stock exchange that its ability to access new financing has remained difficult, and has been compounded by a recent Covid-19 outbreak in the country that deepened an industry sales slump. ![]()

![]() ![]() There is another parallel advantage to this, whereby if some of the blocks in our drawing need to be altered, the change only needs to be made in some of them, through the block editor. dxf versions with the business aim of projects stipulating the need for their products or technical solutions and offering them on their websites.Īnother advantage of using AutoCAD blocks is saving space in the file since only the data for one single block or block entity is stored regardless of whether it is repeated 2 or 20 times. In addition, companies that manufacture products or construction systems often create their own product libraries in. Reuse of AutoCAD blocks is not restricted to our own designs, since logically, we can also use any block or CAD file produced by third parties if their use is permitted in our project. The main advantage lies in the significant amount of time saved when developing our technical projects, thus allowing better quality graphic representations. In subsequent projects where the same object is required, instead of drawing it again, it is reused by inserting it in the CAD file in which we are working. ![]() Now, thanks to the blocks, this CAD drawing only needs to be produced once, the first time it is needed. It can be inserted into the existing drawing to complete it, complement it and help us save time in our CAD project.ĬAD blocks arose as a result of the need for repetitive use of multiple objects in different projects. ![]() Something as simple as this creates enormous advantages over the traditional construction of technical projects, allowing infinite possibilities, since once we have produced any design, AutoCAD blocks, or those from any other CAD program, are files that can be inserted in other CAD files, it's that simple. ![]() |
