A Correction Is Due And It Could Be Deep
China Evergrande Boss Steps Down as Chairman of Its Flagship Property BusinessHui Ka Yan gives up job months after unit dropped plans for multibillion-dollar listing on mainlandChinese real-estate billionaire Hui Ka Yan has stepped down as chairman of China Evergrande Group ’s flagship property business, months after the unit dropped plans for a multibillion-dollar listing on the mainland.The chairman of Hengda Real Estate, the main onshore subsidiary of Hong Kong-listed Evergrande, is now Zhao Changlong, commerce registration information on Chinese database provider qcc.com showed Tuesday. It is unclear exactly when the change happened.Mr. Zhao, a former director of Hengda who previously served as its chairman until August 2017, has also taken over as the company’s general manager and legal representative, replacing Ke Peng.An Evergrande spokesman confirmed the moves, describing them as “normal changes” after Evergrande terminated its plan to list Hengda in late 2020. He said they would have no impact on the companies’ management and shareholding structure.Mr. Hui, a rags-to-riches tycoon who is now one of China’s richest men, is still chairman of the overall group, which owns 63% of Hengda.(...)
Evergrande Drops Further After Hui Steps Down From Key Role(Bloomberg) -- China Evergrande Group’s shares and bonds slid for a second day after billionaire Hui Ka Yan stepped down as chairman of the company’s onshore real estate unit.The move spooked investors already concerned about the company’s funding troubles, with the stock falling 0.8% in Hong Kong on Wednesday, taking the year’s decline to 65%. Its 5.9% local bond due 2023 tumbled 26% to 42.4 yuan and was halted for a few minutes before resuming trading at 2:57 p.m., according to statement from the exchange.Investors are searching for any signs of upheaval at the world’s most indebted developer, which is selling assets to stave off a cash crunch. The Hengda Real Estate Development Co. unit is core to the company’s property business, contributing about 88% of group revenue last year.Evergrande said the change of chairman at Hengda was normal after it scrapped plans for a backdoor listing of the unit late last year. But the timing did little to dispel speculation that a restructuring could be in the works requiring Hui to relinquish his grip on his empire.“In a time when Evergrande needs to stabilize market sentiment, Hui’s role change will lead to more investor anxiety,” said Ma Dong, partner of Chinese local private bond fund BG Capital. “Management needs to give the market a good explanation to avoid further selling pressure on its bonds.”The government has been pushing to curb Evergrande’s borrowing in hopes of putting a stop to the notion that any company can be “too big to fail.” With more than $300 billion of liabilities, Evergrande’s fate has broader implications for China’s $50 trillion financial system and the nation’s banks, trusts and millions of home owners.“Evergrande’s liquidity problem still remain unsolved; the money from share sales is just a drop in the bucket compared with its outstanding debt,” said Castor Pang, head of research at Core Pacific-Yamaichi International H.K. Ltd. “Even if the central government does intervene, it’s unlikely that banks will become a funding source like in the past.”(...)
China Huarong's bonds jump on state-backed rescueSHANGHAI, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Bonds issued by China Huarong Asset Management Co Ltd jumped on Thursday after the troubled bad loan company announced a state-backed rescue plan, easing fears of a possible “Lehman moment” in China.Wednesday’s announcement of a capital restructuring came a day after a meeting chaired by President Xi Jinping called for efforts to defuse systemic financial risks. It also comes as a flurry of regulatory crackdowns in China dent foreign investors’ confidence.Huarong, which has not yet published its 2020 annual report, warned investors of an annual loss of 102.9 billion yuan ($15.85 billion), and said a state consortium led by the Citic Group Corp had agreed to make a strategic investment in the company.Despite the profit warning, Huarong said its liquidity was ample and it could repay outstanding offshore debts in time, boosting its bond prices.(...)
Storm in a teacupChina Huarong Asset Management’s bailout provides some lessons for investors, but only up to a point. The so-called bad bank, which expects to generate a $16 billion net loss for 2020, also unveiled plans on Wednesday to restructure with state-owned CITIC Group. Any read-across on moral hazard is thin, though.Details are scant as the rescue group hasn’t firmly committed. Huarong also missed a March 31 deadline to disclose last year’s earnings. If it doesn’t do so by the end of August, it will be in technical default on some bonds. The profit warning at least quantifies the damage and suggests the company, whose former chairman was executed in January following a corruption scandal, is making progress. Its shares have been halted for more than four months.A capital injection also would help backstop efforts to sell assets. CITIC hardly ranks on a par with the current Ministry of Finance backer – indeed the agency might sell its stake to the consortium – but signals that the government is stepping in to help. Huarong said on WeChat it wouldn’t need to restructure debt.It was a stretch to think Beijing would let such a central entity default, even on offshore bonds. While Huarong strayed from its core mission, it remains one of China’s oldest institutions designed to sort out duff loans. Failing to pay might have pushed up borrowing costs for peers, and Beijing is especially worried about contagion after July economic indicators wobbled. A readout from a meeting chaired by President Xi Jinping on Tuesday said officials would not let efforts to reduce risk in one area create “secondary financial risks.” On balance, the selloff in Huarong’s dollar bonds in May, which led to some yields spiking to nearly 50%, was an overreaction.Huarong’s unique nature as a bad bank in a country with a bad debt problem makes it hard to extrapolate too much from the proposed workout. It clears the way for Beijing to focus on embattled Evergrande, but while the real estate developer may pose a systemic risk, it is not a policy instrument. Xi is trying to suppress the property sector, not bail it out. Ultimately, the Huarong case is giving off more heat than light.
Donde si hay subvenciones (para la rehabilitación) es en la construcción, cuya cartera de pedidos se ha recuperado con fuerza y no las necesita. Hablando del sector con uno de los mejores especialistas en construcción industrializada de España me decía que, en grandes capitales, se podía hacer viviendas a mil euros el metro cuadrado construido (suelo aparte). ¿Por qué no se hace? Pues porque la extrema "izquierda" quiere alquiler (no quiere trabajadores propietarios) y el resto de la casta busca proteger a los viejos propietarios, cosa que tampoco consigue. Otra acción de expolio ruinosa de quienes mangonean nuestra vidas y haciendas desde "lo público". En todo caso, salvo esa cuarta parte de la economía en terrible situación y pese al expolio, el resto se recupera bien, aprovéchenlo, que el futuro, a más largo plazo, no es luminoso, al contrario
