Does any one recall the real estate bubble of 1980's in Japan ? It was an economic bubble in Japan from 1986 to 1991 in which real estate and stock market prices were greatly inflated. In early 1992, this price bubble burst and Japan's economy stagnated. Look at the following graph which will make the point clear.
But Why are we even referring the same now ? Only because the similar situation has arrived in China right now. What next ? a downward trajectory in Real estate market and subsequently in stock market as well. Believe it or not a stock market crash is coming soon !
Property rates have sky rocketed in china in last 3 decades and have reached to a level where it is no longer affordable for common man to own a house. Apartment rate of 3 of major cities are more than 40 times that of annual gross income of an individual. This is significantly higher that world average. Real estate companies are finding it difficult to find new buyers in a market where there are millions are of investor properties lying vacant. Before Evergrande, HNA already filed for bankruptcy where it owes more than $ 180 Billion. It seems Evergrande will join the party with more than $ 300 Billion debt which it seems unlikely to repay.
Its not that CCP or Chinese Government can not bail the company out. However, the situation is so bad in China that many projects initiated by Government are already in Huge loses and this burden is on Government. i.e. High Speed Rail Corridor project. Except Beijing Shaghai Route, all other routes are incurring huge losses. Few of the Railway projects have been established in areas where there is not enough population who can use these services and hence it is unlikely that these routes will be profitable anytime soon. Another problem with high speed railway is that it can not be used for Good Transportation to maximize its profits. High speed trains are for passengers commuting only since it can not carry heavy load at such high speed.
So Evergrande is not capable to clear its debt on its own and is least likely to get any support from Government. It seems this will surely be a Lehman Moment for China and for rest of the world for sure. Time to be cautious !
