On 20 June, S&P Global upgraded COLI’s long-term issuer credit rating to “A-/Stable Outlook”. COLI is the first and only Mainland Chinese property developer with “A-” rating by S&P Global. In addition, COLI’s outstanding senior unsecured notes’ rating was also upgraded to “A-” from “BBB+”. COLI maintained a leading position in rating by the three international rating agencies. S&P Global remarked in the report, “we upgraded COLI because we believe the extraordinary government support that its parent receives would flow to the company in a stress scenario and we continue to view COLI as a highly strategic subsidiary to its parent.” S&P Global supplemented that, “COLI’s 2024 contract sales should continue to recover, backed by key launches and it should maintain its business strength, backed by a greater focus on higher tier cities. Also, COLI's rental income will continue to rise and help improve interest coverage.” The rating upgrade reflected that the international rating agencies recognised COLI's smooth financing channels, robust business fundamentals, and the Company's capabilities to continue investing during the industry downturn. #creditrating #issurerrating #rating #ratingupgrade #45thanniversary #goodproducts #goodservices #goodeffectiveness #goodcitizen #fourexcellences #coli #coli688 #s&pglobal

🗓️ August 1992 On August 20, 1992, COHL listed its real estate business on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under the name of China Overseas Land & Investment Limited (stock code: 00688.HK). This marked the first instance of Chinese-funded enterprises being listed in Hong Kong alongside local businesses. Taking advantage of the opportunity presented by the Hong Kong listing, COLI underwent a strategic transformation in its corporate governance structure and emerged as a Hong Kong red-chip company.   🗓️ October 1992 COLI conducted a ground-breaking ceremony to commemorate its investment in Shanghai Haihua Garden. The project itself was a pioneering endeavour, representing one of the earliest urban renewal initiatives not only in Shanghai but also across China. Haihua Garden also stood as one of Shanghai’s first high-rise residential buildings at that time, symbolising the commencement of China's transformation of shanty towns.   🗓️ February 1996 COLI attained the distinction of being one of the pioneering property management companies within the Chinese Mainland to achieve ISO9002 certification for its quality management system.   🗓️ April 1997 Guangzhou China Overseas Jincheng Garden has been officially launched for sale and has garnered a highly enthusiastic response within the local market.   A new journey, new challenges. Amidst the rapidly evolving wheels of time, COLI embraces fresh challenges. With a firm commitment to stability and a relentless pursuit of progress, COLI propels forward with unweaving determination, navigating through the tumultuous waves, and striving for excellence.   #45thanniversary #history #creatingabetterlifetogether #goodproducts #goodservices #goodeffectiveness #goodcitizen #fourexcellences #coli #coli688
