CapitaLand boosts credit limit allocation in China units to S$10b

Deal is already sealed.

According to a release, CapitaLand Limited announced that it has entered into strategic co-operation agreements with Agricultural Bank of China (ABC), Bank of China (BOC), China Construction Bank (CCB) and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) to grant a credit limit allocation of up to RMB50 billion (about S$10 billion) to CapitaLand Group’s China businesses.

The allocations would enable CapitaLand and the banks to enter into definitive agreements to draw on the credit limit, if required, subject to terms and conditions to be mutually agreed.

Mr Liew Mun Leong, President & CEO of CapitaLand Group said: “We are very pleased with the strong support that we are getting from the four Chinese banks. The strategic co-operation agreements with a credit allocation of up to RMB50 billion will provide funding for the Group’s growth plans in the residential, commercial, retail, serviced residence, integrated developments and financial services sectors across China.”

Over the years, CapitaLand has grown into one of the top foreign real estate companies in China with a diversified portfolio comprising homes, offices, shopping malls, serviced residences and mixed developments. As at 30 September 2012, 38% of CapitaLand’s total assets (excluding treasury cash) amounting to S$13.0 billion are in China.

Since January 2012, CapitaLand has committed S$3.0 billion of new investments. Singapore and China account for the bulk of the new investments.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
