Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - Hubei Province's debt resolution work is progressing steadily. The investment growth rate of urban investment companies has slowed down, the investment structure has been continuously adjusted, the growth rate of debt scale has slowed down, and new financing has mainly shifted to bank loans, with the combined proportion of bonds and other financing continuously decreasing.
