KONTAN.CO.ID - HONG KONG. China Evergrande Group is considering repaying offshore public bondholders owed around US$ 19 billion with cash instalments and equity in two of its Hong Kong-listed units, two sources said. As the world's most indebted developer struggles to emerge from its financial crisis.

Evergrande's entire US$ 22,7 billion worth of offshore debt including loans and private bonds is deemed to be in default after missing payment obligations late last year. It said in March that it will unveil a preliminary debt restructuring proposal by the end of July.
