Michael Pettis, industry influencer, reports that China’s major bad-debt management firms are relying on accounting gains derived from stakes in state-backed banks.
This move is intended to balance the adverse effects of a prolonged property downturn and a wider economic slowdown, according to information from Caixin.
Pettis has previously reported that regulators launched a pilot program in seven cities to force out unprofitable zombie companies burdened by debt. The program targets firms that fail to generate sustainable returns. His recent observations follow earlier commentary on state-led efforts to address non-performing assets.
