The real estate giant avoids default

Country Garden escaped default

Chinese property developer Country Garden made its two-dollar bond payments on time Tuesday. The company has become the focus of global investor concerns over China’s struggling real estate sector.

Shares of the Hong Kong-listed company fell nearly 3 percent late in the morning after reports that two $500 million international bonds made late coupon payments totaling $22.5 million. .

THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE

The payments mean the cash-strapped developer narrowly escaped a technical default, but traders say it won’t change the narrative of China’s worsening financial difficulties.

Country Garden’s late payments last month raised concerns about the company, once seen as one of the most secure and financially sound developers in China. Despite the recent rise, the company’s shares have fallen more than 60 percent to date.
