In the past year, the global economy recovered waveringly with increasing uncertainties and unstable factors. China’s domestic economy experienced prominent structural contradictions with its reform and development intensifying. The Group responded proactively to the national strategic policies of stable development to improve macroeconomic control, maintained its strategic strengths and strived to create more value for shareholders.
The infrastructure construction business is one of the principal businesses of the Group. The Group has all along been committed to developing and striving to propel the progress of Zhongfang Chaozhou Jing Nan Industrial Park Project (the “ Project ”). However, owing to local government policies impact and various factors, Project was unable to meet schedules. Chaozhou Jinshan has completed the procedures for the acceptance of completion and transfer of 4,000-mu construction land accumulatively. The completion and acceptance procedures of phase I of the Project have been fully completed. The project settlement works has commenced in November 2018 and complete by the end of 2019. The Group will keep communicating with Chaozhou Jinshan to actively propel the progress of settlement of the project.
