The ailing China Evergrande Group is looking to shift assets to its property unit in a bid to settle some of its debt payments.
In July, the company revealed that loans secured by Evergrande Property Services had been diverted to the parent group, which led to Evergrande Group’s chief executive and finance head stepping down.
Deposits worth 13.4 billion yuan ($1.90 billion) held by the property unit had been used as collateral for pledge guarantees and seized by banks.

Evergrande Group added that it had sold 18.16 billion yuan worth of properties from January to August, and it has 706 pre-sold but undelivered construction projects.
