New week, same China Evergrande worries – China looks to make good for home buyers. Bondholders not so much.

News

Bloomberg with a report on Chinese authorities looking to stem contagion risk from Evergrande:

A summary of where we are at, in brief:

  • China Evergrande Group edges closer to a massive restructuring
  • Beijing signaling it’s willing to prop up healthy developers, homeowners and the real estate market at the expense of global bondholders
  • Chinese authorities have dispatched top financial regulators to nudge the country’s massive banks to ease credit for homebuyers and support the property sector. 
  • They also bought out part of Evergrande’s stake in a struggling bank to limit contagion

China is out on holiday this week, but efforts such as the above will continue in earnest. Chinese markets reopen on Friday.
