China's Country Garden Defaults on Dollar Bond, Declared 'Event of Default'

Country Garden, the largest builder in the Chinese property market, has failed to pay $15.4 million in interest on its dollar bonds, marking its first default. The company had previously warned creditors that it would not be able to repay a separate loan due to sales pressure. With its shares losing over two-thirds of their value this year, Country Garden is now likely facing one of China's biggest-ever restructurings. This default adds to the ongoing distress in the Chinese property market, which accounts for about 20% of the country's GDP. The Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees will meet to discuss if a failure-to-pay credit event occurred, potentially triggering credit default swap contracts.

This potential default would deepen the crisis in China's property sector, which accounts for a quarter of the country's economy. If the payment is not made by midnight in New York, the company will be deemed in default. With $11 billion of offshore bonds and $6 billion of onshore loans, a default by Country Garden could lead to one of China's largest corporate debt restructurings.
