China Evergrande Group's central unit, Hengda Real Estate Group, announced it would settle interest payment on its Shenzhen-trade 5.8 percent September 2025 bond, according to the Group's statement on 22 September. The statement comes after a big hit on stock markets in Asia, the USA, and Europe by a significant sell-off this week since shares in Evergrande closed 10 percent lower in Hong Kong. Earlier this week, the Evergrande Group expressed its concern in a stock filing this month that the Group might not be able to meet its financial obligations. EPA/ALEX PLAVEVSKI
