Group 1: Fiscal Policy Review for 2025 - The budget revenue showed a weak recovery, with a cumulative year-on-year growth turning positive in the first ten months, reaching 85% of the budget execution [5][9]. - Government fund revenue was negatively impacted by declining land transfer income, with a progress rate of 55% in the first ten months [9][12]. - The expenditure side saw a strong increase, with government fund expenditure growth reaching 220% for central government funds, while local expenditure grew by only 7.3% [9][12]. Group 2: Debt Management and Special Bonds - The "6+4+2" debt management plan for 2024 accelerated the debt resolution process, with a total of 3.88 trillion yuan allocated for debt resolution and clearing corporate arrears, exceeding initial expectations [16][20]. - The issuance of special bonds reached 4.4 trillion yuan by mid-November, with a significant portion allocated for debt resolution and land reserve projects, leading to a partial crowding-out effect on infrastructure projects [12][22]. Group 3: Outlook for 2026 - The fiscal policy for 2026 is expected to be more proactive, with a projected deficit rate maintained at around 4%, signaling the necessity of fiscal expansion [3][35]. - New special bond quotas may be increased to approximately 5 trillion yuan to support infrastructure projects, particularly in the context of the "15th Five-Year Plan" [3][35]. - The fiscal revenue is anticipated to remain under pressure due to declining land transfer income, which has historically accounted for 70%-80% of government fund revenue [38][39]. Group 4: Expenditure and Economic Growth - The relationship between GDP growth and fiscal expenditure is expected to persist, with government leveraging fiscal expansion to support economic growth amid weak expectations from residents and enterprises [40][45]. - Central government spending is likely to focus on major projects, with local governments continuing to rely heavily on central transfers due to limited self-financing capabilities [45][46].
