Qinghai Provincial Investment Group, a state-backed Chinese aluminum producer, is yet to make a coupon payment on a $300 million 2020 note, which came due Thursday, according to a Bloomberg report.
It is worth noting that there is no grace period for a missed coupon on Qinghai Provincial’s 2020 note, according to the bond prospectus.
Missing the dollar bond coupon payment indicates that a local government-led debt restructuring program is yet to ease financial pressures.
