The debt-laden Chinese conglomerate HNA Group Co., whose airline unit scrapped a bond fundraising plan this week after financing costs soared, said it won’t default on borrowings anytime soon.
Board director Zhao Quan said in an interview Friday that there would be no default in the coming year, when asked about risks in that period, without commenting on the longer-term outlook. The company doesn’t see any default risk in coming years, it said in response to a follow-up question.
