NEW YORK, Oct 12 — China has the ability to address the issues linked to China Evergrande Group’s indebtedness, although there is a risk of the property developer’s pain escalating to cause broader financial stress, the IMF said in a report and comments released today.

Evergrande, with more than US$300 billion in liabilities, has concerned investors globally after it missed its third round of bond payments in three weeks, intensifying market fears over contagion involving other property developers as a wall of debt payment obligations come due in the near-term. Debt-saddled Chinese property firms took heavy fire in bond markets today.

“I think the authorities have the means to address the situation,” said Tobias Adrian, the IMF’s Director of Monetary and Capital Markets Department, in an interview timed with the release of the IMF’s Global Financial Stability Report today. “They have the fiscal capacity and they have the legal and institutional tools to address this issue. So one thing that would have to go wrong is that communication is not very clear and the necessary steps are not being taken.

Beijing has prodded government-owned firms and state-backed property developers to purchase some of Evergrande’s assets, people with knowledge of the matter previously said.In the IMF’s Global Financial Stability Report, the organisation more broadly urged policymakers to “act decisively” and target continued economic support tailored to their countries’ needs. — Reuters
