Dec 29 (Reuters) - China has turned around more than 2,000 loss-making “zombie” and heavily indebted companies in its campaign against poorly performing enterprises, the deputy head of the country’s state assets regulator said on Tuesday.
China in 2016 set a goal of eliminating thousands of unprofitable zombie firms - those that have survived on bank loans and local government backing - by 2020.
However, it has provided little in the way of a progress report this year as the campaign took a backseat to the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, while a string of high-profile defaults by highly rated state-owned enterprises shook the country’s corporate bond market last month.
