Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Hunan Province has a significant geographical position and obvious resource endowment advantages. In 2024, its economic aggregate was in the upper - middle level in the country, with a "tertiary - secondary - primary" economic development pattern, but the proportion of the tertiary industry was lower than the national average. The fixed - asset investment growth rate turned positive. The general public budget revenue was at a medium level, with a low fiscal self - sufficiency rate and high debt ratio [4][5]. - The province has implemented multiple measures to address implicit debt, such as debt replacement and platform company transformation. After the implementation of debt - resolution policies, the spread of bond - issuing urban investment enterprises in Hunan has significantly narrowed, and the debt - resolution work in Xiangtan has achieved phased results [4][23]. - There are obvious disparities in the economic and fiscal strength among prefecture - level cities (prefectures) in Hunan. Changsha, the provincial capital, has far higher economic and fiscal levels than other regions. In 2024, the overall tax revenue contribution of prefecture - level cities (prefectures) was relatively high, but most of them saw a significant decline in government - funded revenue, and the contribution of superior subsidy revenue to comprehensive financial resources was high. The government debt balance of all prefecture - level cities (prefectures) increased at the end of 2024, and the debt ratio rose [4]. - There are many bond - issuing urban investment enterprises in Hunan, mainly distributed in the Changzhutan and northern Hunan regions. In 2024, the bonds of bond - issuing urban investment enterprises in all prefecture - level cities (prefectures) showed net repayment. Since 2025, the short - term solvency indicators of most bond - issuing urban investment enterprises have generally improved, but the overall short - term liquidity pressure remains high [4].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Since 2023, the implementation of the "package debt resolution plan" has achieved phased results. In December 2024, Document 99 provided a clear path for key provinces to exit. Inner Mongolia has publicly exited, while other provinces are at different stages of debt resolution [6][7][68]. - Key provinces face dual tasks of debt resolution and development. To achieve sustainable development, they need to establish a long - term risk supervision mechanism, promote the transformation of financing platforms, and shift from traditional investment - driven growth to "industry - driven" growth [3][69][70]. - In the "post - key province period", key provinces may face risks such as debt risk rebound, resolution of operating debts, transformation of urban investment platforms, and restoration of market confidence. They should rely on their own resource endowments and strategic positions to develop characteristic industries [69][70]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs I. Introduction - In July 2023, the new round of debt resolution cycle began. Relevant policies such as Document 35 and Document 47 were issued, proposing the principle of "classified measures" for debt resolution. In November 2024, the "6 + 4+2" incremental debt resolution measures accelerated the resolution of local stock debts [5]. - In December 2024, Document 99, as the 6th supplementary document of Document 35, clarified the exit criteria and path for key provinces and explained the exit progress and subsequent requirements of financing platforms [6]. II. Analysis of Debt Resolution Progress and Achievements in Key Provinces (1) Exit Criteria for Key Provinces - Document 99 proposed 2 quantitative indicators, 1 qualitative indicator, and requirements for the exit progress of financing platforms. The quantitative indicators include a cap on the implicit debt ratio and the ratio of local financial debt to GDP. The qualitative indicator assesses the ability of local governments to prevent and resolve debt risks independently. The financing platform exit progress requires a certain reduction in the number of financing platforms by specific time points [11][12]. (2) Debt Resolution Achievements in Key Provinces - **Implicit Debt Resolution**: By the end of 2024, the implicit debt balance and implicit debt ratio of key provinces decreased. Most provinces met the implicit debt ratio requirement, with Ningxia and Qinghai having an implicit debt ratio below 30% [15][16]. - **Local Financial Debt**: Except for Jilin, the ratio of the interest - bearing debt scale of bond - issuing urban investment enterprises to GDP in other key provinces decreased to varying degrees. As of the end of 2024, only Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Liaoning, and Qinghai met the 10% standard [17][19]. - **Financing Platform Exit**: From August 2023 to September 2025, 916 enterprises announced their exit from the financing platform list. Among key provinces, Chongqing had the most exits. As of September 2025, the national financing platform quantity and stock operating financial debt scale decreased significantly compared to March 2023 [29][32][33]. - **Regional Public Opinion**: The debt risk control ability of local governments was reflected by regional public opinion. From 2023 to September 2025, Shandong, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Henan had relatively high frequencies of bill overdue risks among urban investment enterprises [34]. (3) Exit Process of Key Provinces - Inner Mongolia has exited the list of key provinces, serving as a model for other provinces. The remaining 11 key provinces can be divided into three types: fast - exit type (Qinghai, Ningxia, etc.), bottleneck - tackling type (Gansu, Guangxi, etc.), and continuously - pressured type (Guizhou, Yunnan) [37][41][44]. III. Exploration and Analysis of Development Transformation in Key Provinces (1) Consolidating Debt Resolution Achievements - After financing platforms exit, local governments should cut off the source of new implicit debts, promote the transformation of urban investment enterprises, and make them a driving force for debt resolution. They should match resources and transformation paths accurately and prevent the spread of enterprise crises to regional risks [50][52][53]. (2) Investment Transformation - Key provinces should shift investment from traditional infrastructure to industries and livelihood areas in line with national strategies. The investment policy focuses on "precise drip - irrigation" and "structural optimization". The investment of bond - issuing urban investment enterprises is gradually shifting from traditional infrastructure to equity and fund investment [54][55]. (3) Industrial Transformation - Key provinces should focus on resource endowments and strategic advantages, avoid homogeneous competition, and achieve industrial value - added through energy complementarity, industrial collaboration, and open linkage. Each province has its own characteristic industrial transformation directions [64][65]. IV. Summary and Outlook - The implementation of the debt resolution plan has achieved phased results. Key provinces are at different stages of debt resolution and face challenges such as debt risk rebound and platform transformation in the "post - key province period" [68][69]. - To achieve sustainable development, key provinces should establish a long - term risk supervision mechanism, promote financing platform transformation, and shift to "industry - driven" growth [69][70].
