China offshore bond default12/18/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the first nine months of this year, the company had sales of 40.87 billion yuan ($6.34 billion), ranking 64th in the industry. After the default, all three major credit rating companies cut Fantasia’s rating to default or near-default status.Įven though Fantasia is not a big developer in terms of sales, its default caused panic in the market. S&P cut the long-term credit rating of Fantasia from B to CCC Sept. The company also said a change in the requirements by the local Shenzhen government on its banking account resulted in a delay in sales of its urban renovation project, affecting liquidity. Only two weeks before the default, the company said its operating condition were good, and it had sufficient working capital and no liquidity issues.įour days after the default, Fantasia’s founder and largest shareholder, Zeng Baobao, issued an internal letter to employees blaming a sudden significant downgrade by S&P Global Ratings for the company’s tight liquidity. 4 caught the market by surprise and caused the sell-off to intensify. The Fantasia default on $206 million of dollar bonds Oct. The yield on junk dollar bonds from the nation’s borrowers, mostly developers, climbed to a decade-high of about 20% this month.Īmid the rapid cooling of housing sales throughout the industry, the market is ignoring operating performance differences among issuers, and investors are dumping property companies’ bonds as they can’t distinguish whether companies are already insolvent or simply have liquidity difficulties, according to a fixed-income analyst at a large brokerage.Ī sharp drop in bond prices represents increasing market expectations that more real estate companies are at risk of default. Both companies had a B credit rating from Fitch Ratings.ĭollar bonds of at least a double-digit number of Chinese developers have plunged 20% to 30% recently. Shenzhen-based developer Kaisa Group Holdings Ltd.’s $550 million of dollar bonds due April 2022 declined to 52 cents on the dollar from 90 cents during the same period. 25. The company’s $200 million of dollar bonds due February 2022 plunged to less than 32 cents on the dollar recently from 93 cents at the end of September. Ltd., a Beijing-headquartered developer with $1.35 billion of dollar bonds outstanding, is asking holders for a three-month extension to pay off a note due Oct. and another missed payment by Sinic Holdings Group Co. That was followed with a surprise default by Fantasia Holdings Group Co. Still, officials including Vice Premier Liu He, central bank Governor Yi Gang and Zou Lan, head of the central bank’s financial market department, have made assurances that risks to the financial system stemming from Evergrande are controllable and are unlikely to spread.Įvergrande - the world’s most indebted developer with more than $300 billion in liabilities - missed five earlier offshore bond payments in late September and early October, and has a further $573 million coming due before the end of the year. When the government might reverse its restrictive policy will depend on the scope of the sell-off of developers’ dollar bonds and how much it affects the domestic bond market, said Lu Ting, chief China economist at Nomura Holdings Inc. Many analysts say they don’t expect a policy-easing soon. This is not the first time Chinese property developers’ offshore bonds faced a sell-off, but this time the headwinds are particularly strong as investors are not only worried about losses on the bonds but also have started to question Chinese developers’ overall credit. China’s tightening of credit to the real estate sector and the debt crisis at China Evergrande Group have sent yields on the country’s riskier notes to the highest level in a decade, making it hard for Chinese developers to borrow by selling offshore dollar bonds and threatening a wave of defaults. ![]()

Caribou brahminy kite lyrics12/18/2023 ![]() ![]() From the carnival-esque whirl of ridiculous melodies, effusive noise, stampeding beats and furiously harmonised vocals of first single Yeti, then veering from insanely loud and aggressive bursts ( Hands First), to military tattoos, unexpected showers of Indian bells ( Brahminy Kite), and almost renaissance-style hip-hop laced with blissful piano melodies ( Lord Leopard, Pelican Narrows), free-spirited musical abandon abounds.

Franz uri boas12/17/2023 ![]() During the First World War, Boas campaigned on behalf of the scholars who were unjustly affected by the war. ![]() Leading up to the First World War boas publicly opposed the United States entry. From 1910 to 1911 he participated in a study that helped disprove the assumption that immigrants were in some way physically or mentally inferior (Franz Boas Papers, n.d.). It was also during this period that he would emigrate to America. Between 18 he would perform his two most famous ethnographic studies: that of the Eskimo culture in the Island of Baffin, and the of the Kwakiult Indians in British Columbia. As an Anthropologist, he was active from the middle of the period known as the birth of social science until the end of the period between the wars. He completed his doctorate of physical geography in 1881 and soon afterwards began his career as an anthropologist.

Looking at a seed pouch, there's nothing that tells you what kind of seeds you're holding, just a bar code. Another security measure is the labeling system. Perched at at a height of 17,300 feet above sea level, India’s doomsday vault lies in Chang La (a high-altitude mountain pass in Ladakh) and is the ultimate insurance policy for the country’s food supply, offering options for future generations to overcome the challenges of climate change and population growth. "They're all bar-coded so we know exactly where everything is," said Dave Dierig, research leader at the center and one of six people in the building with access to the vaults. The temperature is kept at a level similar to a home freezer, at low humidity to arrest seed degradation and keep them viable longer. In this room, there are 600,000 seed packets, which puts the total number of seeds in the billions. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault, dubbed the doomsday vault or the Noah’s ark of seeds, aims to contain a duplicate of every seed housed in other banks across the globe. Theres a reason they call it the doomsday vault. Upstairs in the facility's main cold storage vault, ceiling-high shelves hold seemingly endless rows of white pouches. Inside, it holds one of the world's largest collections of seeds, genetic material for livestock, microbes and endangered plants under highly sophisticated lock and key. Nestled deep within the Arctic Circle on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen in the remote Svalbard archipelago, the Global Seed Vault stands as one of humanity’s most. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault commonly known as the ‘Doomsday Vault’ lays buried beneath the permafrost, 150 metres into a mountainside within the Arctic Circle. From the outside it may not look like a bastion of the American agriculture industry.

It's a nondescript, beige building just off the quad at Colorado State University. Officially, the Fort Collins facility is called the National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation. In the cryo chamber, the collection expands to include not just seeds, but animal embryos, semen and microbes. "You'll want your camera out for this," Dierig said as he lifted up the lid to a cryogenic freezer capsule.

Just before Christmas 9 months later, Dad was in the hospital for an irregular heartbeat. ![]() We were happy Mom and Dad were able to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. We had a surprise 70th birthday at a football tailgate party for Dad. Almost 10 years after my first marathon, Dad had a mini-stroke while visiting prior to my wedding. He was part of “The Greatest Generation”, and they kept so much inside. Meantime, I had hoped my running would inspire Dad to walk more with Mom. Eight minutes from qualifying for Boston (1980), how could I stop now? I did and Detroit was my 3rd marathon (finished in 2:58). I started to run in college, watched the finish of the Detroit Marathon, and vowed to “try it” in a couple years. As I graduated from high school, I silently vowed “not to become like Dad”. When he came home from work, his falling asleep on the couch we assumed was normal with “a hard day at the office”. He was diagnosed with high blood pressure at age 50, but he didn’t do anything to help himself. I, too, started running because of my father, but not at his prompting.

Your analogy about the crossword puzzle was so helpful. I’ve also gained insight into conversing with my grandfathers, who both live with hearing loss. Now I’m beginning to grasp how bittersweet it is for mothers to let go of the boys that young men used to be. I saw the adorable baby shoes and the muddy soccer cleats on the cover and thought, “I’m a big fan of Mary Louise Kelly, but this book probably isn’t for me.” I was mistaken!
