According to foreign media reports citing sources, Zheng Jiachun’s family office and New World Development (00017), the parent company Chow Tai Fook Enterprises, are seeking refinancing for a HKD 7.3 billion loan due in June. The market believes this move will test banks’ risk exposure to Hong Kong property companies.

Chow Tai Fook Enterprises is negotiating a 5-year financing plan with banks.

The report states that Chow Tai Fook Enterprises is in preliminary discussions with banks regarding a potential 5-year financing plan. Last year, Chow Tai Fook Enterprises repaid another loan using its own funds.

Sources indicate that at the end of last year, Zheng Jiachun’s family injected a 54% stake in Chow Tai Fook Jewelry (01929) into Chow Tai Fook Enterprises, while also selling its Australian electricity business, Alinta Energy, to Singapore’s Sembcorp Industries. After the transaction, Chow Tai Fook Enterprises’ net debt-to-asset ratio decreased from 62% in June 2025 to 29%; its net debt relative to EBITDA also dropped from 7.3 times to 3.7 times.
