Chinese Real Estate Stocks Hit By Developer Default Rumors

Share Print 0

Shares in various Chinese property firms have fallen after media reports that Chinese developer Zhejiang Xingrun Real Estate cannot repay close to $400m of outstanding loans.

Shanghai-listed Poly Real Estate Group saw its shares slump by 3%, while shares in Shenzhen-listed China Vanke fell nearly 2%.

Zhenjiang Xingrun is based in Fenghua, a city in eastern China.

In March, Chaori Solar became the first Chinese firm to default on its bonds.

The default two weeks ago by Chaori, a solar components maker, led to fears that it could be the start of a wave of domestic bond defaults by Chinese firms.

Property developers in China have been a particular source of concern, as many have increased their debt loads in recent years to buy land and build.

At the time, prices for homes had been rising, but now the market appears to be cooling down.
