为了稳经济防风险，国务院允许地方政府第四季度额外发行5000亿元地方政府债券。在地方财政收支矛 盾较大的当下，各省市获得上述额度越多，显然就有越多资金去推动重大项目建设、化解债务风险。目 前，这一额度分配也逐步清晰。 以江苏为例，根据江苏省财政厅公开信息，江苏此次获得5000亿元结存限额中的535亿元，其中235亿元 用于发行再融资债券补充地方政府综合财力，300亿元用于发行专项债券支持符合条件的项目建设。 目前包括四川、浙江等地将财政部此次下达的结存限额，省级财政不预留，全部安排给市县。这也有助 于缓解基层市县财政压力。 第一财经记者根据官方信息梳理发现，截至12月10日，至少有18个省市（自治区、直辖市、计划单列 市）近期调整了预算。而地方密集调整预算的理由之一，正是财政部下达了上述总额5000亿元地方政府 债务结存限额中的部分额度给各省市，这使得各地增加了相应债务收入和支出，因此必须依法调整预 算。 根据各地财政部门等公开信息，上述5000亿元最新一批地方政府债务额度中，目前江苏、浙江、四川、 深圳、青岛、新疆、吉林分别获得了535亿元、433亿元、282亿元、182亿元、75亿元、67亿元、43亿 元 ...
