    United States: Major Chinese real estate company Evergrande has sought bankruptcy protection in the United States as the real estate situation worsens in China.

    This move will enable the financially burdened company to safeguard its US assets while it negotiates a multi-billion-dollar agreement with its creditors.

    In 2021, Evergrande failed to meet its substantial debts, causing significant ripples in worldwide financial markets. This action occurs as issues within China’s real estate market contribute to worries about the world’s second-largest economy. On 17th August 2023, China Evergrande Group submitted a filing for Chapter 15 bankruptcy protection in a New York court.

    Chapter 15 offers procedures to handle insolvency situations that involve multiple countries. The submission occurs amidst increasing concerns that troubles in China’s real estate industry might extend due to a slowdown in the growth of the world’s second-largest economy.

    Since the onset of the real estate sector’s debt crisis in mid-2021, companies responsible for 40 percent of Chinese home sales have failed to meet their obligations.

    Investors are also concerned about the well-being of Country Garden, China’s biggest privately owned developer. The company has raised concerns by skipping certain interest payments this month and expressing significant uncertainties regarding the repayment of its corporate bonds.

    Not long ago, Evergrande faced a total of $330 billion in liabilities. A default in late 2021 set off a series of defaults among other construction companies, leading to numerous incomplete homes throughout China and prompting concerns about large-scale projects abroad. Established in 1996 by Mr. Hui Ka Yan in the southern province of Guangzhou, Evergrande introduced a plan for restructuring its debt earlier this year.
