This was one of the reasons for a drop in many stock market indices on September 20, 2021. The Chinese government is reportedly working to restructure Evergrande to resolve the crisis. On 21 October, 2021, Evergrande announced that a $2.6 billion asset sale to that would have been used to pay an $83 million interest payment it missed in September, 2021 had failed to close. On 10 November 2021, Evergrande defaulted on 3 more bonds after missing the grace period for interest payments, but reportedly fulfilled the payments after the deadline.
