One weeks ago, another private developer, Garden (02007.HK), had announced the preparation of an international issue of seven-year priority paper. This is somewhat of a "duplicity" of the meaning. On the one hand, a number of mainland developers in the 09 annual performance meeting have said that the hands of ample funds, this year will be the fist building sales. On the other hand, they are also doing well in raising debt abroad. 14th, Jingzhang, an analyst with Nomura International (Hong Kong) Limited, told our correspondent that since the recent financing channels in the mainland were hampered by policy regulation and the prices of new shares in the Hong Kong market were not ideal, property companies would prefer to issue bills.

The second category is companies with higher borrowing ratios. And some companies mentioned above two characteristics, such as Evergrande, Bi GUI garden, decimating real estate and so on. "The analyst pointed out, also does not rule out some" opportunistic "company, may not have the capital pressure, also may in the appropriate issuance debt financing time, prepares for a rainy day.
