evergrande was the poster child for china's real estate boom but has become the worst casualty of the$300 billion. duncan wrigley is chief china economist at pantheon macroeconomics. he says it's going to be difficult for investors to recover their money. well, the next step is a hong kong court will appoint liquidators who will take over the running of the top level of the company from the management. the company has two sets of assets. 0ffshore assets, things like shareholdings and some other subsidiary companies, those assets are very readily accessible. the issue is that most of the company's assets are onshore in mainland china, they're land, properties — the company had 1,200 projects at different stages of development as of 2022. but those assets are going to be tricky to access. in theory, hong kong and mainland have a 2021 arrangement for resolving insolvent companies like evergrande, but in practice what needs to happen is mainland courts will need to recognise this liquidation, but they also need co—operation from local governments. i think it will be very tricky. this is j

and china is really inventing that process as we speak and you're seeing it play out on something like evergrande. it effects everything we're doing -- we had a panel earlier, talking about treasury auctions, china is a big player in our auction. how does this effect that? >> you know, guys have been the higher for longer camp, and the last question you answered is, i can't really predict rates, but the whole idea that for rates to go down precipitously, and at one point, five or six cuts were priced in. we debate on this desk, what would need to happen for that? something not good. on the flip side of that, though, and none of us are going to try to predict that, higher for longer, what does that mean for you? inflation is a bit stickier, the economy, you know, we have unemployment that stays below 4%? >> i think it's the goldilocks scenario. there is gdp growth but it's tepid. there's cpi that's sort of in line and not really problematic, that needs to -- or -- not -- you don't need to see a rate increase. but there's no real catalyst to actually reduce rates. and i think that being in that gol
