State support for the company
By November 2023, Country Garden Holdings Co. and Sino-Ocean Group were included in China's list of 50 developers eligible for financial support, indicating Beijing's pivot to helping some of the country's most troubled developers, Bloomberg sources said.
Bond default
On October 10, 2023, Country Garden defaulted and hired consultants as sales fell. The company said it may not be able to meet all of its offshore payment obligations on time.
Sharp decline in sales and decline in capitalization
In October 2023, Country Garden Holdings Co. posted its biggest drop in sales in six years as customer concerns over its ability to complete projects threaten to exacerbate a cash shortfall for a bankrupt Chinese developer.
Unlike Evergrande, which has been ruined by wasteful habits, Country Garden's problems stem from investors and homebuyers leaving the industry.
