China Vanke Co., one of the country’s largest property developers, is facing a record deluge of debt coming due as worries grow about its liquidity with the property market stuck in a deep slump.
Vanke has about $4.9 billion in yuan- and dollar-denominated bonds maturing or facing redemption options in 2025, its highest annual amount ever, and the most for any Chinese developer this year, according to Bloomberg-compiled data. The obligations account for more than half of its outstanding public debt.
