Piețele în alertă, deoarece Evergrande a ordonat să demoleze 39 de clădiri pe cea mai mare insulă artificială din lume

In the latest setback for debt-ridden Chinese real estate giant Evergrande, an administrative ruling in ​​Danzhou City, Hainan Province, will force the company to demolish 39 buildings under construction on Haihua Island — the world’s largest artificial island — according to mass-media locală chineză.

Evergrande’s woes have frequently been correlated with drops in stocks and digital asset markets, particularly in September.

Last month, Fitch Ratings downgraded the Chinese real estate developer to ‘Restricted Default’ after the grace period on bond payments, previously due, expired. Evergrande missed a further $255 million in coupon payments last week, Reuters a raportat, starting the clock on a new 30-day window before triggering a further default.

Shares traded sharply lower on the news and closed out December in Hong Kong trading at $1.59, for a loss of roughly -89% on the year.

On Monday, the company requested shares to be halted pending the release of inside information, while an index of Chinese developer shares fell 1.7%, Bloomberg notes, although the company did not link the halt specifically to the demolition news.

Chinese Media Rapoarte that the Danzhou Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau issued the decision on Dec. 30, which was confirmed on Jan. 1, and requires Danzhou Xinheng Tourism Development Co., Ltd., an Evergrande subsidiary, to demolish the 39 buildings located in the bay area of ​​Danzhou City.

The buildings occupy about 435,000 square meters on Haihua Island No. 2, but their planning permit was illegally obtained, according to the new order.

The development was a pet project of chairman Xu Jiayin, who told employees in a New Year’s speech that he was proud of their efforts in recent months despite the unprecedented financial challenges.

Spre deosebire de previous bouts of grim Evergrande news, markets in Europe, as well as S&P futures, show no adverse reaction in Monday trading as of 7:45 AM ET.
