China's Leading Real Estate Developer, Evergrande, Ordered to Liquidate $300 Billion in Assets
In a recent ruling by a Hong Kong court, Evergrande, the most indebted real estate developer globally, has been directed to liquidate $300 billion worth of assets. Despite numerous court hearings and constant delays, Evergrande failed to present a viable restructuring plan leading to this drastic action.
Evergrande's Difficulty in Formulating Restructuring Plans
Justice Linda Chan gave the order to liquidate over $300 billion in liabilities due to Evergrande's failure to present appropriate restructuring plans. The court must now say, enough is enough, Justice Chan declared during her final court verdict. This makes it increasingly challenging for Evergrande to focus on its recovery as the company now enters a lengthy liquidation process that will further hamper its operations.
Implications on Creditors and Shareholders
According to Gary Ng, Senior Economist at Natixis, As most of Evergrande's assets are in mainland China, there are uncertainties about how the creditors can seize the assets and the repayment rank of offshore bondholders, and the situation can be even worse for shareholders.
Impacts on China's Economy and BRICS
In 2024, China's economy faces significant challenges as top industry giants are on the brink of bankruptcy. The Chinese Yuan, along with the economy, is on a downward trend, with growth stagnant for the past three years. This economic downturn could potentially affect other sectors of the Chinese economy.
The Effect on De-dollarization Efforts
This situation poses a challenge for BRICS, as China has been a key player in global de-dollarization efforts. If China cannot rescue its billion-dollar real estate giant, it may dissuade other developing countries from joining the de-dollarization movement.
BRICS and the Challenge of Ditching the US Dollar
The stakes are high for BRICS, and abandoning the US dollar may not be as straightforward as anticipated. While the US economy is gradually recovering from a crisis, China, a BRICS nation, is sinking deeper into its own crisis.
