Questions raised over lost $1b at failed Yi F Trading << Creditors yesterday called into question how $1 billion in assets could not be recovered from Yi F Trading, the Hong Kong investment arm of the Hubei provincial government that was last week put into liquidation. The queries were raised as creditors - including about two dozen banks - were told at a meeting they might recover as little as 1.5 per cent of their money, based on figures from Yi F's directors. The firm was estimated to have assets of $1.05 billion as of November 30 last year against $1.1 billion in liabilities. But the estimated realisable value of the assets was put at only $16.9 million. The firm owed banks a total of $825.2 million. -- cont'd -- >> scmp.com **** Bank of China unit in probe on deposit-taking << The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) is looking into alleged unauthorised deposit-taking activities by Hong Kong Macau International Finance, which is controlled by the Bank of China. -- cont'd -- >> scmp.com ******** A billion here, a billion there and pretty soon you are talking 'big money'! :-)) Looking more and more like a lot of the 'assets' in Hong Kong and China are not worth the paper they are printed on. Is a Yuan or HK$ devaluation just around the corner?
