CNY398.8 Bln Bond Sales Withdrawn After SOE Default: YiCai

CHINA PRESS

A total of 52 bonds worth CNY398.8 billion were canceled or postponed in the period from November 10th to 19th, YiCai reported citing data from Wind. The bond default by the SOE Yongcheng Coal Group caused rising difficulties in financing primary market bonds and debt issuance, particularly of industrial and urban investment bonds with weak qualifications, YiCai said citing industry sources.
