Indebted Chinese developer Country Garden has proposed restructuring terms that aims to reduce its offshore debt by up to USD11.6 billion and extend debt maturity by a maximum of 11.5 years, Yicai.com reported citing the company statement. The restructuring would help reduce the weighted average cost of borrowing from about 6% to about 2% per year. The developer has reached an understanding with a lender group made up of seven banks which holds 48% of the company’s outstanding syndicated loans totalling USD3.6 billion. By end-2023, Country Garden's total overseas interest-bearing liabilities were about USD16.4 billion, the newspaper said.
