The spread difference between central enterprises and local industrial state - owned enterprises is more obvious, while that of urban investment and transportation - related entities is relatively small [21]. - The exchange - inter - bank excess spread of science and technology innovation bond component bonds has widened since July [22]. 3.3 Component Bond Liquidity Pricing: Reasonable Liquidity Premium and Potential Risks - The reasonable pricing anchor for liquidity premium is within 10BP. Since 2024, under the expectation of debt resolution, the spread between high - grade urban investment bonds and secondary capital bonds is centered at 0, and the spread fluctuation range is basically within 10BP.
