China’s central bank pledged greater support for the real economy, and reiterated its aim to promote the property sector’s “healthy” growth and protect home buyers’ rights.
Evergrande has coupons on two bonds due Tuesday. The firm was labeled a defaulter for the first time earlier this month. Its shares declined for a fifth week last week, the longest streak since September, and have plunged 90% this year.
