Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Group 2: Core Views of the Report - In H1 2025, the issuance scale of urban investment bonds hit a three - year low, with negative net financing for four consecutive months from March to June. The credit risk of urban investment bonds slightly converged, and credit ratings were mainly upgraded. It is expected that the issuance scale from July to December will be about 2.4 trillion yuan, and the net outflow may exceed 100 billion yuan [2][12]. - The current urban investment financing policy is strict, and it is necessary to optimize the policy to support new investment space. Although the "package debt resolution" has achieved results, urban investment enterprises still face heavy debt pressure. The "14th Five - Year Plan" period will bring new opportunities and challenges to the urban investment industry, but enterprises face problems such as weak asset liquidity. The "platform exit" of urban investment may lead to new problems, and it is necessary to guide and regulate the transformation [7][8][9]. - The credit spread of urban investment bonds still has room for compression.

The decline of weak - quality and low - level entities was less than that of stronger ones, and the AA - level entities' interest rates increased [30]. - **Long - term issuance trend, high proportion of debt replacement**: The weighted average term was 3.89 years, a year - on - year increase of 0.24 years. The proportion of private placement bonds rose to the first place. The broad and narrow debt replacement ratios reached 97.57% and 94.13% respectively [37]. - **Decline in trading volume, compression of trading spreads**: The trading volume decreased by 14.86% year - on - year, and the trading spreads compressed compared with the end of 2024 [42]. - **Deeper net outflows in non - key regions**: 13 provinces had a 100% debt replacement ratio, with 10 being key provinces. Jilin and Chongqing issued project - construction urban investment bonds.

Shandong and Guizhou had relatively large abnormal trading scales [60]. III. High Maturity and Put - Option Pressures, Difficult to Reverse the Net Outflow Trend, Expected Issuance Scale of about 2.4 Trillion from July to December - **Maturity and put - option scale of about 2.58 trillion from July to December**: By the end of June, the maturity scale was about 1.85 trillion yuan, and the put - option scale was 72.7022 billion yuan (assuming a 70% put - option ratio). Heilongjiang, Gansu, and Yunnan had relatively high maturity pressures [64]. - **Slight decline in the proportion of early redemption, more than half of bonds in Liaoning were redeemed early**: In H1, 700 bonds were redeemed early, with a total scale of 126.284 billion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 11%.

It is recommended to accelerate debt replacement and include some operating debts and government arrears in the replacement scope [8]. - **Seize development opportunities during the "14th Five - Year Plan" period**: Urban investment enterprises face problems such as weak asset liquidity. They need to seize opportunities during the "14th Five - Year Plan" period, integrate resources, and control investment impulses [9]. - **Guide and standardize urban investment transformation**: The "platform exit" of urban investment may lead to new problems. Local governments need to guide the transformation direction and strengthen policy connection [10]. (2) Investment Strategies - The macro - environment is favorable for the bond market. The yield center may decline in H2 2025. The credit spread of urban investment bonds has room for compression. It is recommended to allocate high - quality targets in strong regions and pay attention to new issuers during the transformation [11][80].
