Beijing, China – Heavily indebted Chinese property giant Evergrande Group on Sunday announced it had suffered losses for the first half of the year.

The developer’s January-June losses amounted to 33 billion yuan ($4.53 billion), compared to 66.4 billion yuan lost in the same period last year, according to a statement published on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange website.

Once China’s top property developer, Evergrande is drowning in a sea of debt and has become a symbol of a property crisis that continues to send shudders through the world’s number two economy.

Its statement on Sunday estimated its liabilities now stood at almost $328 billion, down from nearly $340 billion at the end of 2022.

The developer also announced a deteriorating cash situation, with just $556 million in cash assets, compared to about $2 billion last year.
