Hong Kong's New World Development says business 'as usual' amid Bloomberg's coverage of potential de
- Hong Kong-based New World Development faced renewed speculation on Thursday as Bloomberg reported on a potential bond default after the property developer clarified earlier in the day that it continues to operate normally.
Bloomberg News reported PJT Partners Inc., a global advisory-focused investment bank, has discussed with New World's dollar bondholders the possibilities of a potential bond default, set off by the developer's ongoing loan talks. The company said earlier today it continues business as usual despite "media rumours" surrounding its operations and financial obligations. This followed a clarification earlier this week that it has not initiated discussions with creditors regarding a proposal to restructure its existing debt, addressing market speculations. New World Development, which has the highest debt among its Hong Kong peers, said it refinanced about HK$17.76 billion of its bank loans since July 2024. However, this is only a fraction of the HK$199 billion debt it held, as per JPMorgan data from July 2024. The property developer has also been facing executive governance issues, with its former CEO Adrian Cheng of the group's founding Cheng family stepping down in September. Cheng was replaced by Eric Ma, who in turn was replaced just two months later by Echo Huang - an executive director of the company and CEO of New World China Land since 2020.Security forces kill six terrorists trying to infiltrate through Pak-Afghan borderRecommended NewsCold and dry weather to prevail across country: PMD I am happy that for the first time in the history of Punjab, a minority card has been launched: Maryam Nawaz190m pounds scam was an open and shut case: Atta Tarar
