债券视角看中央经济工作会议：平稳开局，重在增效

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2026, the macro - environment and policy layout for the bond market may remain basically stable, but the policy demand for "price recovery" has increased. The bond market may continue the range - bound trading, with a slight upward shift in the fluctuation center. Under the "stable growth" goal, the currency maintains a "moderately loose" tone, and the overall macro - policy emphasizes stability and quality rather than pursuing incremental growth. The policy's stronger demand for price recovery means that the impact of inflation on nominal interest rate pricing needs attention [7][10]. Summary According to the Table of Contents 1. Macro - tone: A Stable Start with Emphasis on Efficiency - Macro - situation judgment: The meeting acknowledges "old problems and new challenges" and the "external environment", and points out the "contradiction of strong supply and weak demand". It highlights long - term contradictions in the economic transformation stage and the short - term uncertainty of the external economic and trade environment. It also implies that "anti - involution" and supply - side optimization need to be strengthened [11]. - Overall tone: The policy orientation is "seeking progress while maintaining stability and improving quality and efficiency". It focuses on stability and continuity, with a reduced demand for growth and progress. It aims to optimize practices and improve efficiency on the basis of stable policy strength, and gives priority to the "quality" of the economy over the "quantity". It also re - emphasizes "counter - cyclical and cross - cyclical" regulation, with a long - term perspective [12]. - Fiscal policy: It continues the positive tone, with the overall strength remaining flat. After the high fiscal increment in 2025, the focus may be on giving full play to the fiscal multiplier effect. It is expected that the fiscal deficit rate will remain at 4% in 2026. The use of quasi - fiscal tools will continue to support the goal of "stopping the decline and stabilizing investment" [14]. 2. Monetary Policy: Balancing Cross - cyclical Considerations - Policy goals: It focuses on growth and prices, and downplays the goal of financial aggregates. It aims to achieve "stable growth" and "reasonable price recovery" by maintaining reasonable liquidity, reducing the real financing cost, and ensuring the smooth operation of the interest rate transmission mechanism [16]. - Use of reserve requirement ratio and interest rate cuts: It advocates "flexible and efficient" use of reserve requirement ratio and interest rate cuts, which is more concerned about policy effectiveness and consistent with the cross - cyclical regulation idea. In a neutral scenario, there may be one policy interest rate cut of 10bp in 2026, likely to occur from the end of the first quarter to the beginning of the second quarter [17]. 3. Key Tasks: Quality > Quantity, Focus on Amplifying Policy Multipliers (1) Domestic Demand Policy: Pursuing Effect and Quality, Weakening Incremental Expansion - Consumption: In 2026, consumption growth may still have potential. The meeting proposes a "residents' income increase plan", expands the supply of high - quality goods and services, and optimizes the implementation of "two new" policies. The stimulus for consumption demand may remain stable or decline, aiming to improve the multiplier effect [20]. - Investment: The meeting for the first time proposes to "stop the decline and stabilize investment", optimize the implementation of "two important" projects, and continue to use new policy - based financial tools. The policy may support investment more in 2026, and the growth rate is expected to turn positive [21]. (2) Deepening Reforms: Prioritizing "Anti - Involution" and Accelerating Debt Clearance - Unified market construction: It ranks higher, with the goal of price recovery being emphasized. It formulates a "regulation" and re - emphasizes "anti - involution", which may affect the bond market's interest rate center [24]. - Debt clearance: It is necessary to accelerate the clearance of arrears to enterprises. In 2026, the importance of local debt clearance may remain high, and its impact on investment needs attention [24]. - Small and medium - sized financial institutions: There is an increase in the "reduction and quality improvement" of small and medium - sized financial institutions, and the trend of mergers is expected to continue [24]. 4. Risk Resolution: Adding Content on Local Debt Resolution, Reducing Real Estate Policy Intensity (1) Local Debt: Actively and Orderly Resolve Local Government Debt Risks - The meeting adds specific statements on local government debt risks, emphasizes the territorial and main responsibilities of debt resolution, and maintains a high - pressure regulatory attitude towards new hidden debts. It also mentions the risk of local government financing platform operating debts and may optimize relevant debt restructuring and replacement measures [26]. - It requires accelerating the clearance of arrears to enterprises, emphasizing the "three guarantees" bottom line and "living a tight - fisted life" [26]. (2) Real Estate: Weakening the Goal of Stopping the Decline and Stabilizing, "De - stocking" by City - The meeting deletes the goal of "stopping the decline and stabilizing" the real estate market, and the policy intensity is reduced. It focuses on supply - side optimization and de - stocking through measures such as "controlling increments", "de - stocking", and "encouraging the acquisition of stock properties" [27].
