Another Chinese Property Developer Misses Interest Payment As Debt Crisi...

Another Chinese Property Developer Misses Interest Payment As Debt Crisis Deepens

The property market crisis in China is growing, as another property developer failed to make a payment on a bond. Modern Land followed Evergrande and Fantasia by missing a bond payment indicating that China’s property crisis is deepening.

On Tuesday, China's National Development and Reform Commission and the State Administration for Foreign Exchange met with foreign debt issuers, telling them to use funds for approved purposes and "jointly maintain their own reputations and the overall order of the market."

Earlier this month, Fantasia Holdings Group defaulted on a maturing dollar bond that heightened concerns in international debt markets,

Evergrande averted a costly default last week but is under more than $300 million in liabilities and has a major payment deadline on Friday. 

Shares of property developers extended losses, also hit by concern over China's plans to introduce a real estate tax.

There are reports coming out of China that its property market is in a steep decline as buyers are reluctant to put money down on off-plan new build projects due for completion in 5 years - and who can blame them?

Many of the high rise blocks are shabbily built buildings thrown up quickly and the cracks are beginning to show.

Property is effectively leased from the government and high-rise apartment blocks will most likely be demolished and rebuilt in 30-50 years.

Property makes up 25% of China’s GDP, so a market collapse will have a serious effect on the overall economy.

You might be wondering “what all this has to do with me” in the UK, US or Australia.

China’s economy matters to the rest of the world. We are already seeing a supply shortage of goods, which will not be helped by China’s own energy issues. A property crash in China will mean less demand for commodities and building materials and ultimately reduce spending on the luxury goods market.

Chinese developers also have hundreds overseas projects in other Asian countries, Australia, America and the UK. Liquidly problems back in China could affect some already overblown international markets.

Property buyers from China invest billions in London, Sydney, New York, Toronto and Manila where prices have reach record levels.

With inflation rising and interest rate due to be increased, there has never been a more important time to stay informed and never stop learning, especially if you want to invest in property.

Can you make money from property with no money down? Yes!

Stock Market Warning Issued By Bank of England - Correction Coming Soon

Stock Market Correction Warning By The Bank Of England

Financial markets and stocks and hares could see a “sharp downturn” if investors start to reconsider the prospects of economic recovery from the lockdown amid supply problems, rising prices and a spending squeeze, the Bank of England predicts.

The UK’s central bank's financial policy committee (FPC) warned of a “correction”, defined as a drop of at least 10% in the price of a share from its most recent peak. The bank has seen signs of increased risk-taking at investment banks – the people who get paid huge sums to play with other people’s money at the stock market casino!

Stock indexes around the world have hit record levels this year, from a crash in 2020, as investors bet on a strong economic bounce back from the pandemic.

However, worrying levels of inflation have returned to the UK, US and Germany sparking fears that growth could be stunted in the face of supply chain bottlenecks, soaring wholesale natural gas prices and skills shortages.

In the UK, millions of households and businesses are facing a long winter of discontent from a cut in benefits and state support combined with a surge in energy prices not seen since the 1970’s Arab oil crisis which sent economies across the globe into recession.

The Bank is also concerned that higher borrowing during the public health emergency has likely put more businesses at risk.

It said: "The increase in debt - though moderate in aggregate - has likely led to increases in the number and scale of more vulnerable businesses.

"As the economy recovers and government support, including restrictions on winding up orders, falls away, business insolvencies are expected to increase from historically low levels."

Around 1.7 million companies borrowed money under emergency loan schemes, like the bounce back loans, that were launched last year.

Many of them were very small companies without high debt, but desperately needed of cash to avoid immediate collapse. Source Sky News.

China’s debt and real estate bubble has not gone away, with Evergrande and Fantasia expected to default on more upcoming debt repayments.

How can you protect yourself and profit from a stock market or property crash?

Even if you do not directly invest in the stock market or property your pension fund manger may be doing so on your behalf.

High Street Retail Is Dead, Long Live The High Street!

Is High Street Retail Really Dead?

With everyone talking about the end of physical shopping, Amazon is opening shops!

Morrisons supermarket UK chain is going through £7 billion takeover.

Costo is booming, Aldi and Lidl are expanding in the UK and workers are going back to offices.

Which is Britain’s cheapest supermarket?

Many stores have suffered in the last year with famous names like Debenhams and Gap disappearing from our towns, but basics like food and other necessities seems to be thriving.

Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani (worth $99 billion) is bringing 7-Eleven stores to India, one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

Online retailing and home delivery are still increasing, but there is still room for physical stores.

I would not recommend a start-up business owner to immediately open a shop.

Did you know that 96% of new businesses fail?

The world’s economies are still choppy waters. Stock markets and property prices around the world remain at an all-time high fuelled by governments printing trillions to prop up weakened economies.

Yesterday I reported that a second Chinese property giant had defaulted on interest payments following the Evergrande scandal.

Investors are still piling into high priced stocks and properties like the party’s never going to end! Remind you of anything?

If you not worried because you don’t invest in stocks and shares or property, look at your pension fund.

There has never been a better time to stay informed and educate yourself on financial matters.

The KEY to building and KEEPING wealth is financial education.

Millionaires and millionaire habits have been studied and documented at academic levels for the last hundred years. Bestselling books, like The Science of Getting Rich and Thinks and Grow Rich, were written almost a century ago. I have also published my own book on how people get wealthy and how some lose it all - Yes Money Can Buy You Happiness.

We know exactly what the millionaire and billionaire habits and traits are, as success leaves tracks. All you need to do is follow their tracks to become wealthy and financially free!

Risks Of Buying Property Off-Plan, People’s Bank Of China Announcement o...

Risks Of Buying Property Off-Plan, People’s Bank Of China Announcement on Evergrande Crisis

The Chinese government has calmed fears that Evergrande could be allowed to fail and risk world economic recovery.

On Monday, without actually mentioning Evergrande, China's central bank promised to protect consumers exposed to the housing market.

The announcement by the People's Bank of China has been seen as a sign that authorities are ready to take steps to prevent the potential catastrophe of Evergrande’s crisis spreading to other parts of the economy.

Evergrande has debts of around $300 billion to national and international creditor including bondholders and 171 domestic banks plus 121 other financial firms. There are also over a million customers who have paid for properties yet to be built and thousands of supplies and staff.

If the company is allowed to fail it could bring down banks and cause a credit crunch squeeze on lending similar to the 2008 global financial crisis.

China’s economy matters to the rest of the world, as it drives demand and spending. For instance, a slowdown in construction alone would hit Australia’s exports of Iron Ore, which represents a large part of it’s currently locked down economy.

This week, Goldman Sachs became the latest bank to downgrade China’s growth forecast from 8.2% to 7.8%.

Chinese buyers have also been scooping up overseas property everywhere from London to Manila, Sydney, Auckland and Toronto where prices have hit all-time highs this year.

Much of China’s massive growth appears to have been funded by huge amounts of debt, something which the government has attempted to reign in recently. This has forced property companies to tighten their belts and the first problem to come to light is the biggest of them all Evergrande.

The conglomerate has 1300 projects in 300 cities spread across the country. Desperate property buyers have been demonstrating outside Evergrande’s offices. Many have invested their life savings and now fear they many never see their money, or the apartment they bought ‘off-plan,’ again.

Buying property off-plan can be risky. Whilst you might think you are getting a ‘below market value’ deal, you are taking the developers word that the finished property, usually a high-rise apartment, will be worth more than you have paid for it several years down the line.

You are also relying on the builder’s ability to finish the project, as well as quality and ongoing management.

Developers normally retain control of the freehold and management of the building and will enjoy residual income from often unfair management charges for the lifetime of your lease.

Buying off-plan properties abroad is especially risky in countries where you don’t understand local laws and taxes.

People often fail to use a lawyer when buying and overseas property, something they would never do at home!

The key to any investing is education or knowledge, something you were not taught in school!

Inflation Set To Stay High For 2 Years OECD Warn As Stock Markets Settle...

Inflation Set To Remain Higher For 2 Years OECD Warn, As Stock Markets Settle

Rising prices in the G20 group of major economies will grow faster than pre-pandemic for at least two years, the OECD forecasts.

Consumers have suffered price hikes as higher commodity prices and shipping costs increase inflation for the first time in years, Paris-based policy forum reports.

Inflation have reached 3.2% in the UK, highest rate of the advanced economies, and is expected to continue at this level until the end of the year, the OECD said. Inflation is expected to fall in the US, France, and Germany.

Inflation has returned all over the world due to the cost of raw materials, constraints on the supply of goods, stronger consumer demand as economies reopen, and prices recovering from drops during the pandemic in some sectors, it said.

Consumer demand, supply disruptions and depleted stores of goods have forced up prices and shipping costs. Further supply shortages could lead to a longer period of higher inflation, the OECD said.

The OECD expects the rate of inflation in the G20 to moderate from 4.5% at the end of 2021 to 3.5% by the end of 2022. Source: BBC.

The real estate bubble in China continues to grow with Evergrande expected to default on interest payments this week or receive government aid.

Meanwhile, over a million property buyers are waiting to see if they will lose their deposits on ‘off plan’ unfinished properties all over China.

These are worrying times. Markets and property prices in majors Cities around the world remain at an all-time high while governments print trillions to prop up weakened economies.

There has never been a better time to stay informed and educate yourself on financial matters.

China Evergrande Debt Crisis Threatens Worldwide Economic Meltdown And S...

Will Chinese Property Giant Evergrande’s Debt Default Spark The Next Asian Financial Crisis And Worldwide Recession?

The huge Chinese property company, Evergrande, is repaying investors in its wealth management business with property instead of cash this week. The world's most indebted real estate developer faces a crunch this week while investors fear a default.

Major banks have reportedly already been informed they will not receive interest payments on loans that are due this week and further interest payments of $84m (£61m) on the firm's bonds are due on Thursday.

The company's shares dropped by more than 10% in Hong Kong trade on Monday, but are down 90% on its 52 week high.

The multi-billion dollar property business deepening debt problems have triggered fears over the impact its potential collapse could have on China's, as well as the western world’s, economies.

Evergrande grew to be one of China's biggest companies by borrowing a massive $300bn (£217bn).

The Beijing government has recently brought in new laws to control the amount owed by big real estate developers to stave off a potential debt crisis.

This led Evergrande offering properties at major discounts to ensure money was coming in to keep the business afloat, is still struggling to meet the interest payments on its debts.

This uncertainty has seen Evergrande's share price tumble by almost 90% on last year and bonds have also been downgraded to ‘junk’ by global credit ratings agencies.

Businessman Hui Ka Yan founded Evergrande, formerly known as the Hengda Group, in 1996 in Guangzhou, southern China. He is worth $10.6bn, according to Forbes, but that figure may need updating.

Evergrande Real Estate currently owns more than 1,300 projects in more than 280 cities across China.

Evergrande Group now encompasses far more than just real estate development and includes businesses range from wealth management, making electric cars and food and drink manufacturing. It even owns one of country's biggest football teams - Guangzhou FC.

Too much diversification outside of the core business can stretch management and lead to problems.

How will it affect the world if Evergrande collapses?

Thousands of Chinese investors riding the wave of a booming market have bought property from Evergrande ‘off-plan’ even before building work began. They have paid deposits and could potentially lose that money if it goes bust.

The companies that do business with Evergrande stand to lose millions if the company fails to pay outstanding invoices. Firms including construction and design firms and materials suppliers are at risk of incurring major losses, which could force them into bankruptcy.

There are rumours of hundreds of unfinished projects where unpaid construction firms have downed tools.

The more worrying aspect is the potential impact on China's entire financial system.

"The financial fallout would be far reaching. Evergrande reportedly owes money to around 171 domestic banks and 121 other financial firms," the Economist Intelligence Unit's (EIU) Mattie Bekink told the BBC.

If Evergrande defaults, banks and other lenders may be forced to lend less.

This could lead to a 1997 Asian financial crisis or 2008 style credit crunch, when companies struggled to borrow money at affordable rates after the collapse of major financial institutions like Bear Sterns and Lehman Brothers, which plunged the western world into recession.

At the time, the relatively debt-free China helped to bail out America, but who can bail out China when western countries have already printed Trillions of dollars to save their own asses?

A credit crunch would be very bad news for the world's second largest economy, because companies that can't borrow find it difficult to grow, and in some cases are unable to continue operating.

Foreign investors have already started reducing their exposure in Chine due to tighter regulation and the CCP’s aim of spreading more wealth to the poor. They are after all a one party state communist country.

Is Evergrande too big to fail?

There is a serious potential fallout if such an indebted company collapses and many has led some analysts believe Beijing will step in to rescue it in order to restore confidence in the real estate and wider markets.

The EIU's Mattie Bekink thinks so: "Rather than risk disrupting supply chains and enraging homeowners, we think the government will probably find a way to ensure Evergrande's core business survives."

But some are not so sure.

In a post on China's chat app and social media platform WeChat, the influential editor-in-chief of state-backed Global Times newspaper Hu Xijin said Evergrande should not rely on a government bailout and instead needs to save itself.

This also chimes with Beijing's aim to rein in corporate debt, which means that such a high-profile bailout could be seen as setting a bad example.

In a closed society we don’t know how deep this crisis goes and how much debt China really has got itself into to fund the massive national and international expansion over the last 20 years.

New cities have been springing up all over China, many of which have become ghost towns, while the country has spread its tentacles all over Asia and Africa in a bid to become the dominant player on the world stage.

Chinese citizens are heavy investors in real estate markets all over the world. Property bubbles have been forming in Australia, New Zealand, Vancouver, Manila and London where Chinese buyers have pushed up prices beyond the reach of local investors.

The old saying that if America sneezes the rest of the world catches a cold also applies to the world’s second largest economy.

Shares on markets in Asia, America and London are falling today as the shock waves of this potential financial disaster reverberate around the world.

As I have said many times on Money Tips, it only takes an event like this to burst and bubble and pull the comfortable rug of market confidence to trigger a collapse in share, bond and property prices.

If China goes down, the rest of the world is going down with it.
