(Reuters) -- Hong Kong builder New World Development said on Monday it had received commitments for a HK$88.2 billion ($11.24 billion) loan refinancing package, as the property developer finalizes a crucial lifeline in a struggling market.
The refinancing, poised to be one of the largest ever seen in Hong Kong, concludes months of negotiations over a debt package designed to bring the company back from the brink of default.
