China's Country Garden aims to pay missed coupons by next week
HONG KONG (Reuters) -Embattled Chinese property developer Country Garden said it was unable to pay two onshore coupons due on Thursday, but China Bond Insurance Co would do so on its behalf if it missed paying within a grace period that ends next week. Such a move would be the first time the state-owned company has come to the rescue of an issuer under a Beijing-led programme launched in 2022 to bolster investor confidence, and analysts warned it could make future issuance harder. Country Garden, which defaulted on its $11 billion of offshore bonds and extended other onshore bond repayments late last year, said in a filing it was unable to pay onshore coupons due on Thursday, though it was still trying to raise funds.
