Podcasts about Evergrande

After the global financial crisis, China added a third of global GDP to its bank assets in just eight years... the largest single-country credit expansion in at least a century. Today investment is contracting, growth is less than a percent, and the financial system that fueled China's growth is now the thing holding it back. Logan Wright, partner at Rhodium Group and my former boss, joins ChinaTalk to discuss his new book, Broken China: How the Economic Miracle Shattered and What It Means for the World. Brad Setser of the Council on Foreign Relations co-hosts. We discuss… The crisis that already happened: why the September 2021 protests in Evergrande's lobby were China's catharsis moment Decay instead of collapse: why credit growth fell from 18% a year to 5%, why Beijing keeps rolling over loans to zombie state firms, and why in China "the path to crisis is reform" Jordan and Brad discuss Xi's Perspective: Does supply-chain dominance matter more than GDP? Twelve million graduates a year, the youth unemployment numbers that vanished in 2023, why all of China's new strategic industries add up to about 6% of GDP, and why a $10,000 BYD doesn't matter if your kid can't get a job Who's paying for China's AI? Plus: Logan's case that the US no longer has a systemic economic rivalry with China, and Brad's pushback that Chinese supply-chain controls have so far beaten Western demand-side leverage Learn more about your ad choices.

Shutterstock Track 1219389 Monetization ID TFGEPGEI0LHEIJAI Kia ora. Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news central banks are being forced to acknowledge that their measured approach to inflation control over most of 2026 just hasn't worked and they need a refreashed, tougher approach. Locally this week, the highlight will be Wednesday's full RBNZ Monetary Policy Statement. With inflation running at 4.1% and rising (it has risen every quarter since December 2024), every observer and financial markets are expecting a full +25 bps rise to 2.75%. The next review is on October 28 which is just over a week before the general election. So we will see just how focused the Breman RBNZ really is on weighing against inflation, even in the face of political pressure. We will get the next CPI result on October 22, and that will be a telling indicator. Financial markets currently price in another +25 bps OCR rise then, at a 60% chance. We will also get many updates about the local August residential reals estate market, and we will get July building consent data. In Australia, there will residential real estate updates too, building consent data, and they will reveal their Q2-2026 GDP expansion rate, expected to be up +1.6% from a year ago, much lower than the Q1-2025 expansion of +2.5%. In the US, the developing conflicts between the Fed's desire to rein in inflation, and the Trump Administration's actions to ignore that threat and to try and push down interest rates will increasingly be watched by markets. There will also be PMIs out pointing to economic activity changes, and the week will end with their August non-farm payrolls report which is currently expected to show a very minor +45,000 jobs expansion. In Canada there will be a rate review although no change is expected from the current 2.25%. They have a 3% CPI level, and a major challenge from their obnoxious neighbour to contend with. Japan will release a broad range of economic reports, including the latest industrial production, retail sales, consumer confidence, housing starts and household spending data. India will release GDP data (expect +7.1%). Malaysia will review its policy rate, but no change is expected from the present 2.75% And there will be PMIs everywhere. And that includes China. Over the weekend, Japan reported a 2.4% jobless rate in July, their lowest in more than a year and their second lowest since before the pandemic. And it seems Japan can still surprise. Births from January through June were 342,068, up +0.8% (+2,788 more) from the same period in 2025. It was their first rise for the first half of the year in 11 years. Malaysia said producer prices there rose at a very fast +9.7% rate in July, their fastest since the pandemic and before that since early 2017. India reported that its industrial production eased back from a +9.5% expansion rate in June to +7.3% in July. But this was still a better result than anticipated. Meanwhile, Indian bank loan growth has stayed extraordinarily high, up +18.3% from a year ago. In China, mirroring the Evergrande disaster, China Vanke's first-half loss widened to -¥16 bln as sales slumped and debt pressure built. Upcoming debt maturities may trigger the end of it. And the EU released the August results of its business and consumer sentiment surveys. The net outcome is improving sentiment, especially business sentiment. Only consumer sentiment remains low but it is marginally less so in August. In the US, in his Jackson Hole speech, Fed boss Kevin Warsh flagged that inflation in the American economy is too high but he offered no indication whether he favours keeping interest rates at current levels or pushing them higher. But he did restate that 2% is their inflation target. He gave no indication of rate policy but the inflation warning was enough for financial markets to conclude rate rises are more likely. Especially as he likely doesn't have the votes for a hold or cut. In the real American economy, the Chicago PMI fell sharply in August into a contraction. The fall was driven by declines in New Orders, Order Backlogs, Production and Supplier Deliveries. It was their first fall in four months and discouraging, suggesting the stockpiling trend may be ending as inventories are now well built. Meanwhile, the US non-farms payrolls data has gone through their annual adjustment. That says their previous reports of job growth were overstated by 79,000. And that is an adjustment of weak results in the first place. It is another discouraging signal. And the University of Michigan consumer sentiment August survey was updated too, confirming its early month reading, falling about -6% from last month and landing about -11% below a year ago. They noted continued worries that inflation will remain elevated for the foreseeable future. Current levels are near the post-pandemic lows. In fact they are near the low points this survey got in the pandemic. In Canada, they reported a revised Q2-2026 GDP expansion of +3.3% for the year. They noted that their household saving rate reached 3.7% in the quarter as growth in disposable income (+2.1%) outpaced nominal household spending (+1.7%). But they also flagged that the July expansion has vanished, no expansion in this latest month. Given the problems with their southern neighbour, it is hard to see an expansion continuing. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.72%, down -1 bp from Saturday at this time, down -2 bps for the week The price of gold is now at US$4454/oz, and down -US$8 from Saturday at this time, down -US$167/oz for the week. Silver has fallen -50 USc to just over US$66/oz and a -US$3.50 weekly fall. Oil prices are holding from Saturday at just under US$83.50/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is just on US$88.50/bbl. The Kiwi dollar is unchanged from Saturday at just on 59.1 USc, down -70 bps for the week. Against the Aussie we are holding at 82.6 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at 51.1 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 62.6, essentially unchanged from Saturday, down -70 bps for the week. The bitcoin price starts today at US$79,010 and up +1.7% from Saturday at this time. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low at just on +/-0.9%.

BMW and Volkswagen are getting more aggressive in China—but NIO, ZEEKR and the Chinese competition aren't slowing down.In Episode #259 of China EVs & More, Tu and Lei break down the biggest developments from the Chengdu Motor Show, including aggressive pricing from BMW's Neue Klasse iX3 and Volkswagen launching an EV for under RMB90,000 (~$15K).Meanwhile, NIO's ES8 continues dominating the premium BEV segment, ZEEKR's 9X pushes above RMB500,000, and Geely is attacking the global affordable-EV market with the Xingyuan/EX2.We also discuss:

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with a series of questions on the US and China, including a look at the likely toothless threats implied by Trump's “Economic D-Day” agenda, China's role or lack thereof in a breakdown between the US and Canada, questions about the next four weeks and four months of the relationship, and, unrelated to the US, what to watch for as Xi heads to the SCO Summit where he could potentially meet Vladimir Putin. From there: A cabbage scandal in Hebei province and a longstanding concern among both PRC citizens and the party. At the end: How and why the central government is using tax crackdowns to cover local government shortfalls, four People's Daily articles on the economy, a surprise plenary session of the CCDI, the founder of Evergrande is sentenced to life in prison, and thoughts on what the Party wants from the stock market as Unitree stock loses nearly half its value after an initial IPO pop.

For years, China's property boom helped drive the country's extraordinary economic growth. At the centre of it was Evergrande, which grew from a regional developer into a sprawling corporate empire, and one of the world's most indebted companies.Then the debts caught up with it. Evergrande's collapse exposed the vulnerabilities of China's property model, helping push the wider housing market into crisis and weighing on the country's economy.Now its founder, Hui Ka-yan, has been sentenced to life in prison for crimes including bribery and illegal use of funds.Will Bain and Rahul Tandon are joined by Jennifer Pak in Beijing to explore how Evergrande became so big, what went wrong, how its collapse exposed the problems in China's property model, and what it means for the wider global economy.Presenters: Will Bain, Rahul Tandon and Jennifer Pak Producer: David CannYou can email the team: businessdaily@bbc.co.uk(Picture: China Evergrande Group then-Chairman Hui Ka Yan attends a news conference on the property developer's annual results in Hong Kong, China March 28, 2017.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has agreed to an $18bn settlement with 29 US states over claims that its platforms harmed children. The deal, which is subject to court approval, would require Meta to introduce new rules for teenage users, including daily limits and overnight blocks. The collapse of what was once one of China's biggest property developers is now threatening to become a multi-billion-dollar headache for PwC. A Hong Kong judge has ruled that Evergrande's liquidators can pursue PwC's global organisation, as well as its Chinese affiliates, over alleged audit failings. They're seeking around $8.4bn in damages. And Dolly Parton, one of country music's biggest stars, has died aged 80. She sold more than 100 million records during a six-decade career, while building a business empire spanning music publishing, film, television and her Dollywood theme park.

Alice Han and James Kynge start in Taipei, where the government has approved a record $35 billion defense budget for 2027 — an 18.2% jump — coming right on the heels of this year's Han Kuang drills, which mobilized nearly 22,000 reservists and adopted U.S.-style command tactics for the first time. They dig into what it means for Taiwan's military readiness, and whether this is more about deterring China or convincing Washington. Then: Evergrande founder Hui Ka Yan — once China's richest man — has been sentenced to life in prison for financial fraud on a staggering scale, closing the book on the world's largest corporate liquidation tied to the property sector. Alice and James ask whether the sentencing does anything to fix China's still-struggling housing market. Finally: China's humanoid robot industry is booming — Chinese vendors account for 97% of global shipments — but who's actually buying them, and how much of the demand is real versus a "circular financing" loop that inflates the numbers?

Xu Jiayin, former chairman of China's property developer Evergrande Group, was sentenced to life imprisonment on Thursday for a string of financial and corporate crimes, while the group and its property arm were fined a combined 15.82 billion yuan ($2.35 billion), according to the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court.据深圳市中级人民法院消息，中国房地产开发商恒大集团前董事长许家印因多项金融及企业犯罪，于周四被判处无期徒刑；恒大集团及其地产子公司合计被处以158.2亿元人民币（折合23.5亿美元）罚金。The court sentenced Evergrande Group to fines totaling 8.82 billion yuan for multiple offenses and Evergrande Real Estate Group to a 7 billion yuan fine.法院对恒大集团数罪并罚，判处罚金共计88.2亿元；对恒大地产集团判处罚金70亿元。Xu was deprived of political rights for life and had all his personal property confiscated. The court also ordered the continued recovery of illegal gains, with any shortfall to be repaid.许家印被剥夺政治权利终身，个人全部财产予以没收。法院同时判令继续追缴违法所得，不足部分予以退赔。According to the court, Xu was the actual controller of Evergrande Group, with overall responsibility for its operations.法院表示，许家印系恒大集团实际控制人，全面负责集团经营管理。Between 2016 and 2021, Evergrande Group, Evergrande Real Estate and Xu engaged in sustained, largescale financial fraud, including inflating assets and concealing liabilities, the court said.法院查明，2016至2021年间，恒大集团、恒大地产及许家印实施持续、大规模金融诈骗，包括虚增资产、隐瞒债务等行为。The court also found that Evergrande Group and Xu used bribery to gain control over financial institutions and illegally obtained credit and insurance funds for use by the group. Their conduct constituted crimes including corporate bribery, illegal issuing of loans and illegal use of funds.法院还查明，恒大集团及许家印通过行贿掌控金融机构，非法获取信贷、保险资金供集团使用，其行为构成单位行贿罪、违法发放贷款罪、挪用资金罪等多项罪名。Xu also abused his position as chairman of Evergrande Real Estate by organizing financial fraud and misappropriating company assets in the form of dividend payments, the court said.法院称，许家印还利用恒大地产董事长的职务便利，组织实施金融诈骗，并以分红形式侵占公司资产。The court ruled that Evergrande Group and Xu were guilty of illegally absorbing public deposits, fundraising fraud, illegal granting of loans, fraudulent securities issuance, illegal disclosure of important information and corporate bribery. Xu was additionally convicted of illegal use of funds and occupational embezzlement.法院判决，恒大集团、许家印犯非法吸收公众存款罪、集资诈骗罪、违法发放贷款罪、欺诈发行证券罪、违规不披露重要信息罪、单位行贿罪；许家印另犯挪用资金罪、职务侵占罪。Evergrande Real Estate was convicted of fraudulent securities issuance.恒大地产犯欺诈发行证券罪。The court said the crimes seriously disrupted the socialist market economic order, infringed upon public and private property rights and undermined the integrity of public officials. It described the amounts involved as exceptionally large, the circumstances as particularly serious and the resulting economic losses and social harm as severe.法院表示，上述犯罪行为严重破坏社会主义市场经济秩序，侵害公私财产权益，损害公职人员职务廉洁性；案件涉案金额特别巨大，情节特别严重，造成重大经济损失与严重社会危害。The sentences were handed down based on the facts, nature and circumstances of the crimes and their impact on society, the court said.法院称，本次判决系结合犯罪事实、犯罪性质、情节以及对社会的危害程度依法作出。Compensation for victims' losses takes priority over the enforcement of fines and confiscation of property, it added.法院补充，对被害人的损失退赔优先于罚金、没收财产的执行。Also on Thursday, the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court and the Nanshan District People's Court in Shenzhen handed down sentences in related cases involving other Evergrande personnel.同样在周四，深圳市中级人民法院与深圳市南山区人民法院对恒大集团其他涉案人员的关联案件作出一审宣判。Fiftysix defendants received prison terms ranging from one year and 10 months to 18 years for offenses including illegally absorbing public deposits, fundraising fraud and illegal use of funds. They were also fined or had property confiscated, while illegal gains will continue to be recovered.56名被告人因犯非法吸收公众存款罪、集资诈骗罪、挪用资金罪等，被判处1年10个月至18年不等有期徒刑，同时被处以罚金或没收财产，违法所得继续予以追缴。Xu had been placed under compulsory measures on Sept 28, 2023. His trial was held publicly at the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court on April 13 and 14 this year. He expressed remorse in his final statement.许家印于2023年9月28日被采取强制措施；今年4月13日、14日，深圳市中级人民法院对该案公开开庭审理，许家印在最后陈述中当庭认罪悔罪。confiscate /ˈkɒnfɪskeɪt/没收；充公liability /ˌlaɪəˈbɪləti/债务；负债；责任bribery /ˈbraɪbəri/行贿；贿赂embezzlement /ɪmˈbezlmənt/侵占；挪用公款fraud /frɔːd/诈骗；欺诈

Shutterstock Track 1219389 Monetization ID TFGEPGEI0LHEIJAI Kia ora. Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news we may be seeing the end of markets regarding US Treasuries as safe-haven assets – although to be fair it isn't clear what would replace it. Long-maturity US Treasury yields rose today to reverse the drop we noted yesterday. The yield on the US 10-year bond rose back towards the earlier 20-month high this week before the Bessent action, and the yield on the 30-year bond rose back too. A couple of points are worth making first before we review today's data updates. The first is that it has been the role of the Fed to do QE activity. Maybe Warsh isn't keen now because he is committed to shrinking the Fed's balance sheet. It grew because the Fed wanted to push down rates, and that came with the consequence of massive bond buying. In fact, they moved the needle with "whatever it takes" to the tune of US$3.5 tln in the GFC and the subsequent stabilisation. And then another US$4.5 tln for the pandemic response that started in 2020. They have only paid down US$2.5 tln since. Warsh wants to get that significatly lower. Now Bessent wants to do his own QE, in his case to avoid the political consequence his boss will face - at least push it off "till later'. But his announcement talks of a 'doubling', and that is only an extra of +$2 bln. The Fed was effective with trillions. But Bessent wants to do the same thing with billions. Wall Street hedge funds will be looking for a Bessent put, and unless he delivers his objective the hole thing might collapse rather quickly. Bessent should know - he was a billionaire hedge fund manager on Wall Street who made his fortune gaming the system. The Bessent initiative hardly lasted one day. And this comes as the US Treasury's latest daily cash and debt balances statement shows public debt now exceeds US$40 tln (Table IIIC). Why is this important for us? Well, the world's economy is still being driven by US middle-class consumer demand, the only economic engine large enough to shift the global needle. And we rely on a healthy upbeat global economy. China says it is making an attempt to duplicate this internal consumer demand, but by all accounts it is not succeeding, in part because Chinese consumers are still very risk averse and prioritising savings over consumption, and more so recently. Meanwhile, initial jobless claims in the US fell to 172,000 last week, a slightly larger dip than seasonal factors would have indicated. There are now 1.8 mln people on these benefits, also marginally lower than the week before. The August Philly Fed factory survey came in much stronger than expected, building on an outsized July expansion. This is all about current activity. Oddly, new order levels fell. But price pressures did moderate this month. The Conference Board said its Leading Index for the US ticked up in July, marking the fourth increase over the past six months. Most components were positive in July except consumer expectations, which continued to be a notable drag. In Canada, their July producer prices index rose from the prior month to be -12.4% higher than year ago levels. Their raw materials index is up more than +18% on the same basis. Across the Pacific, Japan said its exports swelled +23% in July from a year ago and to an all-time record high, boosted by AI-related semiconductors and data center equipment. Meanwhile, imports were up almost +28%, boosted by fuel imports which were up more than +53% in value. and total imports also hit a new record high. The net was a small trade deficit on merchandise. China held its key lending rates at ultra low levels in the regular monthly update. But these very low rates aren't exactly generating a boom, more just holding things together. The People's Bank of China kept its key lending rates at these record lows for a 15th straight month. And that is what analysts were expecting. And remember Evergrande? Well yesterday a Chinese court sentenced its founder and boss to life imprisonment for "massive fraud". Orders for Taiwanese exports soared +62% in July from a year ago to a new record high of US$98 bln. That follows an outstanding +59% jump in June. Booming global demand for AI-related and technology products continued to fuel overseas sales. This is on top of a July 2025 increase of +21% which at the time seemed like an outstanding achievement. Malaysian exportsjumped an outstanding +38% in July from a year ago to a record high. This was led my electronic exports to the US. Meanwhile, their imports rose +36%, with the fastest rises from India, South Korea, and then China. In Europe, German producer prices rose in July too, only at a +3.0% year-on-year rate but that was their fastest since April 2023. Australian inflation expectations rose by 0.2 percentage points in August to 4.9%. This follows a three-month period of moderating inflation expectations. Wage expectations also rose in August, after remaining static for a prolonged period. Staying in Australia, full-time jobs rose +16,300 in July but part-time jobs fell -32,200 in the month for a new decrease in employment levels. So instead of the expected +15,000 rise in jobs, they had a -15,800 net fall. While this may seem like a big movement, in fact the June positive result was quite elevated so a leveling out is probably to be expected. Global container freight rates were up +4% last week from the prior week to be double what they were a year ago. Outbound rates from China to the US drove the increase with those up +9% for the week, up +180% from a year ago. Meanwhile bulk cargo rates fell -7.5% this past week to be +40% higher than year-ago levels. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.70%, up +5 bps from this time yesterday. The 30 year yield is at 5.24% and up +4 bps.  The price of gold is up sharply, now at US$4520/oz, up +US$17 from yesterday at this time. Silver has risen another +US$2 to just over US$68. Oil prices are up US$1 from yesterday at just over US$86.50/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is now just over US$93.50/bbl and up +US$2.  The Kiwi dollar is up +10 bps from yesterday at just over 59.4 USc. Against the Aussie we have risen +30 bps to 83.6 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at 50.9 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 62.9, up +10 bps from this time yesterday. The bitcoin price starts today at US$72,813 and up another large +6.8% from yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has also been high at just on +/-3.5%. You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz. Kia ora.

What if borrowing billions of dollars could make a company stronger… or destroy it?In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained, we break down capital structure and the high-stakes decision every company faces: should you fund growth with debt or equity? Using real-world case studies and corporate finance principles, we explore how this single choice can shape a company's future, from explosive growth to catastrophic collapse.At first glance, debt looks like the obvious winner. It is cheaper than equity, tax-efficient, and can lower a company's cost of capital. But that advantage comes with hidden risks. Mandatory interest payments, restrictive covenants, and rising default risk can quickly turn “cheap” debt into a dangerous liability when conditions change.We unpack key concepts like WACC (weighted average cost of capital), debt capacity, and financial flexibility, showing why the goal is not simply minimizing cost, but balancing risk, resilience, and strategic optionality.Through case studies, we examine how different companies approach capital structure:Alphabet prioritizes flexibility with low debt and massive cash reservesApple uses debt strategically for tax efficiency and shareholder returnsTesla relied on equity early to survive unpredictable cash flowsNetflix leveraged high-yield debt to fuel aggressive growthWe also explore what happens when leverage goes wrong, from Evergrande's collapse driven by short-term debt, to AT&T's constrained strategy under a heavy debt load, to Boeing's vulnerability during external shocks.The key takeaway is simple. Capital structure is not just a finance decision. It is a signal of how management views risk, growth, and the future of the business.If you want to understand how companies actually fund growth, how debt vs equity impacts valuation, and how to read between the lines of corporate announcements, this episode will change how you analyze businesses and think about financial strategy.

China has described the US blockade of Iranian ports as "irresponsible and dangerous". The measure came into force on Monday, after peace talks failed over the weekend. Beijing's foreign ministry said Washington's actions would undermine the current ceasefire and further jeopardise the safety of ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump said he ordered the blockade to force Iran to give up its nuclear ambitions. Analysts say the move is also designed to put pressure on China -- the biggest buyer of Iranian oil. Also: A Chinese court says the founder of collapsed property giant, Evergrande, has pleaded guilty to a series of fraud charges at his trial; a BBC investigation uncovers fresh, wide-ranging evidence that indicates Greek police have, for years, been recruiting migrants to force other migrants back across its river border with Turkey; an unusual way to combat southern Italy's 'brain drain'; and a successful Ugandan conservation project helping Africa's mountain gorillas.

In its World Economic Outlook report the International Monetary Fund says that, in a worst case scenario -  where oil, gas and food prices spike and remain high this year and next - global growth could fall below 2% in 2026. That's if the US-Israel war with Iran continues and high energy prices persist. It said the most severe conditions that could lead to a worldwide slowdown would include oil prices reaching an average $110 per barrel this year and hitting $125 in 2027. Based on these assumptions, the IMF said inflation could reach as much as 6% next year. This could force central banks to increase interest rates to slow the pace of price rises.

From the BBC World Service: Chinese property giant Evergrande's shares have been delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange; it was once China's largest real estate firm but collapsed under a mountain of debt. Today, we'll trace its spectacular rise and fall. Rare earths have been a major sticking point in trade negotiations between China and the United States. China has dominated the rare earths market, but could Australia become a rival?

We learned yesterday that business activity in the U.S. picked up in August, led by a big advance in the manufacturing sector. Manufacturing had been in a slump, but recorded its strongest growth in orders in 18 months. Is it the start of a bigger trend or just a blip? Then, Evergrande — once one of China's biggest property developers — is having its shares delisted from Hong Kong's stock exchange. Its ruinous downfall has threatened to weigh down the world's second-largest economy.
