New World Development (NWD) said that it has completed HKD 35bn ($4.5bn) in low cost, long-term loans since January. The loans would help fill its liquidity needs, whilst also increasing the proportion of yuan loans to reduce overall financing costs. For instance, SCMP notes that the average interest rate for its offshore loans was about Hibor plus 110bp while selected onshore yuan loans were set at fixed rates of 2.9-3.0%. The developer has also refinanced a hotel loan for a JV with Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) for a total amount of HKD 9.5bn ($1.2bn). The company said that it will continue to “optimise its loan portfolio and seek low-cost onshore loans” to control financing costs.
