July 25 (Reuters) - Fresh signs of stress are emerging
in China's property sector, reigniting concerns that began with
China Evergrande Group's default 3333.HK in 2021, as flagging
sales lead to cash crunches at the biggest developers.
Bond principal, including puttable bonds, and coupon
payments by Chinese high-yield developers totalling $5 billion
are due by the end of September 2023, BofA Securities estimates.
Dalian Wanda Group sold 49% of a subsidiary to help it repay
a $400 million bond due on July 23. State-backed developer
Greenland Holdings 600606.SS missed repayments this month,
while Sino-Ocean Group 3377.HK proposed extended terms for a 2
billion yuan ($278 million) bond due on Aug. 2.
Country Garden Holdings 2007.HK , the country's largest
homebuilder, in particular is facing heavy bond maturities in
the coming months, analysts said.
These are the 10 biggest upcoming repayments by Chinese property
developers due on onshore and offshore bonds:
