1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - The regional spread of urban investment bonds has shown a significant differentiation, with the spread in economically strong regions remaining low and the spread in weak - qualified regions still high.

The market also has high requirements for liquidity compensation for weak - qualified urban investment bonds [17][21]. - Urban investment bonds with a remaining term of less than 2 years have relatively strong safety margins and can be explored according to return requirements.
