CHINA PRESS: Chinese property developers are increasingly issuing bonds in

overseas markets because of a cheaper dollar and tight domestic financing

situation, Securities Times reported Friday. 

 - Competition for consolidation is increasingly fierce in the property sector,

and tightening policies are hurting sales, newspaper said;

 - The volume of bonds held by property developers' maturing will peak this

year, so offshore issuance is one of the few venues, Times said; 

 - While weakening of the dollar makes offshore bonds less expensive property

developers may be more vulnerable if the dollar rebounds, newspaper said.
