China Evergrande considers transferring assets to property unit for debt payment

China Evergrande Group said on Wednesday that it was considering transferring some assets to its property unit to settle some of its debt payments.

In July, the company revealed that loans secured by Evergrande Property Services had been diverted to the parent group, which led to Evergrande Group's chief executive and finance head stepping down.

Deposits held by the property unit worth 13.4 billion yuan ($1.9bn) had been used as collateral for pledge guarantees and were seized by banks.

Evergrande Group, which is about $300bn in debt, said in a filing that it was in talks with the unit to muster funds to repay the loans.

The group added that it had sold 18.16bn yuan worth of properties from January to August, and that it has 706 pre-sold but undelivered construction projects.

Three ways to boost your credit score

Marwan Lutfi says the core fundamentals that drive better payment behaviour and can improve your credit score are:

1. Make sure you make your payments on time;

2. Limit the number of products you borrow on: the more loans and credit cards you have, the more it will affect your credit score;

3. Don't max out all your debts: how much you maximise those credit facilities will have an impact. If you have five credit cards and utilise 90 per cent of that credit, it will negatively affect your score.
