The staggering is over: the court orders the dissolution of construction giant Evergrande The staggering is over: the court orders the dissolution of construction giant Evergrande

A Hong Kong court has ordered the liquidation of heavily indebted Chinese construction company Evergrande. After the announcement, Evergrande shares fell by more than 20 percent.

Judge Linda Chan said on Monday she found the move appropriate given the company’s “apparent lack of progress in presenting a viable restructuring plan” and ordered the measure.

Moments later, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange announced it would stop trading securities of Evergrande and its electric vehicle subsidiary.

Construction sector in crisis

In early December, Judge Chan granted the troubled company a stay from submitting a restructuring plan to avert the threat of liquidation. This deadline expired on Monday.

Evergrande is at the center of the crisis in China’s construction industry. In 2020, Chinese authorities responded to the sector’s escalating debt burden with restrictions on obtaining loans. This led to payment delays and project cancellations, especially at Evergrande. In 2021, the group filed for bankruptcy proceedings. He has built up the equivalent of more than 300 billion euros in debt. (lak/sda/afp)
