Group 1: Report's Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - Amid the deepening of local government debt risk prevention and the acceleration of financing platform reform and transformation, with the implementation of the debt - resolution package, there have been phased achievements in implicit debt resolution and financing platform exits. However, bond issuance review maintains a strict supervision of new urban investment financing. In 2025, local governments actively integrated state - owned resources, and the number of entities achieving new - use bond issuance increased, but regional transformation progress varies significantly [2]. - The current debt - resolution policies have two - sided impacts: on one hand, they boost urban investment credit, compress issuance costs and credit spreads, and relieve short - term liquidity pressure; on the other hand, they tighten financing channels and force urban investment entities to accelerate market - oriented transformation [3]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Overview of Urban Investment Bond Issuance under Strict Supervision - Since the Politburo meeting in July 2023 proposed a "package debt - resolution plan", local debt risk resolution has entered a new stage. With a series of supporting policies centered on "controlling new growth, resolving existing debt, and promoting transformation", bond issuance review strictly restricts new urban investment financing while also providing an exit mechanism for list - based management, and the debt - resolution concept is shifting from "risk prevention" to "both risk prevention and development promotion" [3]. - In terms of net financing performance, since 2024, under the influence of strict financing supervision and the maturity peak, the net financing scale of urban investment bonds has dropped significantly, with more than 10 provinces having negative net financing. In the first three quarters of 2025, the total issuance and net financing of urban investment bonds decreased year - on - year, with only 14 provinces having a small net inflow [5]. - Regarding the use of funds raised by urban investment bonds in the first three quarters of 2025, over 80% was used for debt roll - over, about 13% for repaying interest - bearing debts, and less than 1% each for project construction and working capital supplementation. Other uses accounted for about 3% [6]. - From 2024 to the first three quarters of 2025, there were 520 entities achieving new - use bond issuance (excluding duplicates), mainly high - level and high - quality entities. The new - raised funds were mainly used to repay interest - bearing debts, and the proportion of other new - use bonds in terms of the number and amount of issuance was about 30% and 22% respectively [9]. - In terms of regional distribution, Tibet and Qinghai have no new - use urban investment bond issuance. Entities achieving new - bond issuance are mainly from economically strong provinces with rich transformation resources. Guangdong has the most new - break - through entities since 2025. Jiangsu and Zhejiang follow, with relatively active new bond issuances by district - county - level entities [12]. 2. Sample Analysis of Newly - Issued Bond Financing Entities - From 2024 to September 2025, there were about 376 urban investment and transformation - type entities making their debut in the bond market. Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Guangdong had the most newly - issued entities, accounting for 58% of the total. AA+ and above entities accounted for about 80%, and district - county - level entities accounted for about 50% [18]. - Among the newly - issued entities, 273 achieved new uses of bond - raised funds. Guangdong, Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang were in the top four, accounting for 55% of the total. The proportion of entities achieving new uses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was relatively low, possibly due to the integration of bond - issuing entities [19]. - Non - top economically developed provinces' newly - issued and new - use entities are concentrated in provincial capitals, while in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Guangdong, entities are more widespread and have a more obvious downward trend to the district - county level. Jiangsu and Zhejiang often use internal resource integration of bond - issuing entities, while Guangdong mainly uses government - led integration of regional operating assets [22]. - Newly - issued and new - use entities mainly issue on exchanges, with 85% of exchange - issued entities only issuing private placement bonds. Many entities use guarantee and credit enhancement, and an increasing number explore special - labeled bond varieties [24]. - Over 40% of newly - issued and new - use entities have total assets of less than 10 billion yuan, and 65% have total assets of less than 15 billion yuan. Half of the entities have an asset - liability ratio of no more than 50%, and about 30% have a ratio below 40%. Their main business is relatively focused, but most are in the business expansion and cultivation stage, and about 10% had negative net profits in 2024 [27]. - For district - county - level newly - issued and new - use entities, about half belong to districts and counties with a general public budget revenue of over 8 billion yuan, and 11 belong to those with less than 2 billion yuan but relatively light debt burdens. For prefecture - level entities, 65% belong to prefectures with a general public budget revenue of over 20 billion yuan, and about 20% are from prefectures with over 100 billion yuan [30]. 3. Insights from Cases of Newly - Issued Urban Investment and Transformation - Type Entities - The transformation process varies greatly among regions. Successful entities show provincial concentration characteristics. Local governments and enterprises should choose appropriate transformation plans according to regional urbanization, resource endowments, and their own conditions [33]. - Transformation direction: Entities should clarify their functional positioning and choose transformation directions around serving urban industrial development, improving urban functions, and meeting social and people's livelihood needs. The current transformation directions mainly include urban comprehensive operation and industrial investment and operation entities [35]. - Integration methods: Different regions should choose integration forms based on their resource status and their own conditions, such as government - led integration of regional industrial resources, internal resource integration of bond - issuing urban investment entities, merger integration, and acquisition/merger of external resources [37]. - Asset and business reconstruction: Entities should meet the "335 indicators", have clear main businesses matching their functional positioning, and possess market - oriented operation and self - financing capabilities [38]. - Clarify the boundary with the government: Entities need to clarify the boundaries with the government in terms of debt, property rights, rights and responsibilities, and business, and continuously improve the market - oriented operation mechanism [42].
