Last spring, Sime Darby, a Malaysian conglomerate, announced that it planned to sell noncore assets. 去年春天,马来西亚综合企业森达美(Sime Darby)宣布,计划出售非核心资产。 It was an attempt to generate cash because much of its Rm16bn debt was coming due quite soon. 此举是为了回笼资金,因为该公司总值160亿林吉特的债务即将到期。 Like many other companies in Southeast Asia, Sime Darby had ramped up borrowing in the expectation of better economic times that failed to materialise. 像东南亚其他很多公司一样,森达美此前抱着对经济景气的期待而增加借贷,但结果经济并不景气。 |
