(Bloomberg) -- Beijing won’t allow the turbulence surrounding China Evergrande Group to turn into a systemic crisis, the chief executive officer of Standard Chartered Plc said, adding that the Asia-focused lender has no “concerning exposures to the property sector.”
“This idea that this was something of a Lehman moment for China: I don’t think China’s frankly that dumb,” Bill Winters said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund said China faces tough trade-offs in dealing with the fallout from Evergrande’s financial troubles, given the balance between cutting leverage and preventing risk.
More than 24 hours have passed without any clarity about whether the embattled developer has delivered interest payments due Oct. 11 for three of its dollar bonds. While holders of these notes will discover their fate within a 30-day grace period, life may be more complicated for the company’s shareholders.
Evergrande’s shares have been suspended for seven trading days as of Tuesday. Despite a requirement for halted firms to make regular public disclosures, it takes as long as 18 months for Hong Kong’s stock exchange to cancel their listings.

Most were halted in 2021, including China Huarong Asset Management -- the bad-debt manager that roiled markets after delaying its earnings report. In the U.S., suspensions are capped at just 10 days.

China faces tough trade-offs in dealing with the fallout from the financial troubles at Evergrande, the International Monetary Fund said.

On the other hand, it could spur more stress if it puts off arranging backing for the financial system.
