Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report industry investment rating in the given content. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In Q1 2025, the issuance scale of local government bonds reached a record high for the same period, with the issuance of government special bonds for implicit debt replacement advancing rapidly. The supply of new special bonds will gradually increase in Q2. [2] - In 2025, the central government implemented a series of more proactive fiscal policies for counter - cyclical adjustment. Considering the global tariff uncertainties in April, fiscal policies are expected to be moderately strengthened to stabilize economic growth. [2] - The strict supervision of local government debt will continue, and the debt resolution approach is shifting towards "balancing risk prevention and development", which may lead to further differentiation in debt resolution resources and local investment and financing space. [2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs I. Review of Local Government Bond - Related Policies - **Implementation of a more proactive fiscal policy**: The fiscal deficit rate was increased to about 4%, and the deficit scale reached 5.66 trillion yuan. A larger - scale government bond issuance was arranged, including ultra - long - term special treasury bonds of 1.3 trillion yuan, special treasury bonds of 500 billion yuan, and new local government special bond quotas of 4.4 trillion yuan. Policies were also introduced to support land reserve work and promote the stability of the real estate market. [3][4] - **Promotion of implicit debt replacement**: In 2024 - 2026, 2 trillion yuan of local government debt quotas were approved annually for implicit debt replacement. In Q1 2025, nearly 70% of the 2 - trillion - yuan replacement quota was issued, effectively alleviating local debt pressure. [5] - **Improvement of debt management mechanisms**: The Ministry of Finance emphasized not adding new implicit debts, improving local debt monitoring and risk indicator systems, and optimizing special bond management mechanisms, such as expanding investment areas and pilot "self - review and self - issuance" projects. [6][7] II. Review of the Local Government Bond Market in Q1 2025 1. Issuance Overview - **Record - high scale**: In Q1 2025, local government bonds were issued 463 times, with a total amount of 2.84 trillion yuan, an 80.58% increase year - on - year. Special bonds accounted for 85.57% of new issuances. New bonds and refinancing bonds were issued at 1.24 trillion yuan and 1.60 trillion yuan respectively, with replacement implicit debt special bonds accounting for 83.44% of refinancing bonds. The net financing amount was 2.63 trillion yuan, a 174.70% increase year - on - year. [9][10] - **Longer average remaining term**: As of the end of March 2025, the national local government debt balance was 50.17 trillion yuan, and the average remaining term of local government bonds was 10 years (9.1 years at the end of March 2024). [10] - **Regional differentiation**: The top three regions in terms of issuance scale were Jiangsu, Guangdong, and Shandong. Economically active regions were the main issuers of new bonds, while key provinces mainly issued refinancing bonds. [17] 2. Interest Rate and Spread Analysis - **Slight increase in interest rates**: In Q1 2025, the average issuance interest rate of local government bonds was 1.94%, with 1.78% for general bonds and 1.98% for special bonds. [21] - **Widening spread**: The average spread of local government bonds widened to 11.28bp in Q1 2025. There were significant differences in spread trends among provinces, with Qinghai, Jilin, and Guizhou having relatively high spreads. [22] 3. Investment Areas of Local Government Special Bonds - **Infrastructure as the main focus**: In Q1 2025, the top three investment areas of special bonds were transportation infrastructure construction, urban - rural development, and urban infrastructure. The issuance amount of special bonds for transportation infrastructure accounted for over 20%. [30][31] - **Restart of land reserve special bonds**: Single - purpose land reserve special bonds for recycling idle land restarted this year, with an issuance amount accounting for 5.27%, all issued by Guangdong Province. [31] III. Future Outlook of Local Government Bonds - **Increasing supply of new special bonds in Q2**: In Q1 2025, new special bonds were issued at 0.96 trillion yuan, only 21.82% of the annual quota. With the implementation of the "self - review and self - issuance" pilot and the restart of land reserve special bonds in some regions, the supply of new special bonds is expected to increase in Q2. [32] - **Possible strengthening of fiscal policies**: Considering the global tariff uncertainties in April, fiscal policies are expected to be moderately strengthened to stabilize economic growth. The deficit rate was increased to 4%, and new local special bond quotas were increased by 0.5 trillion yuan. [2][35] - **Downward potential and increased volatility of interest rates**: There is still room for the overall downward movement of local government bond issuance interest rates, but volatility may increase due to factors such as external tariff shocks and stock market fluctuations. [36][37] - **Shift in debt resolution approach**: Local debt management will remain strictly supervised, and the debt resolution approach is shifting from "risk prevention" to "balancing risk prevention and development". Future debt resolution resources and local investment and financing space may further differentiate. [38]

民间投资势头，体现的是市场用真金白银对未来发展投票的信心。扭转民间投资下降势头，短期看需要 更强有力的政策供给，根本上则要靠进一步全面深化改革，助力民营企业稳定预期、提振信心，提升能 力、激发活力。 影响民间投资增速的因素比较复杂，既受到我国处于转变发展方式、优化经济结构、转换增长动力攻关 期的阶段性变化的影响，也有全球产业链供应链加速重构、国内有效需求不足等因素的影响，还与民营 企业发展环境有待进一步优化以及民间投资自身特点有关。研究显示，民间投资具有顺周期性，对经济 景气的敏感度高、灵活性强。在经济周期上行时，民营企业投资意愿和市场信心明显加强；在经济周期 下行时，民营企业投资决策趋于更加谨慎，民间投资增速往往低于经济增长和整体投资的表现。 从结构性数据看，民间投资内部呈现出此消彼长的特点。我国民间资本主要投向制造业和房地产业。近 段时期房地产开发投资降幅较大，是民间投资的主要拖累。在扣除房地产开发投资后，1月份至7月份， 民间投资同比增长6.5%。其中制造业民间投资增长11.5%，增速比全部制造业投资高2.2个百分点；基础 设施民间投资增长5.2%，增速比全部基础设施投资高0.3个百分点。据统计，民营企 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The bond market in Q1 2025 was affected by "tight funds" and "negative Carry", with the central bank's stance and operations playing important roles. The central bank's statements and actions in Q1 led to a multi - level impact on the bond market, including the reversal of expectations, actual operational impacts, and the collapse of the long - position [4][9]. - Since Q2, the central bank has rarely mentioned concerns about bond market yields, with the key objective shifting to stable growth. The central bank has repeatedly mentioned increasing counter - cyclical adjustment, maintaining ample liquidity, and strongly supporting the real economy [16]. - Looking ahead, if interest rates show a rapid downward trend, the central bank may issue risk warnings again. The bond market is currently in a range - bound oscillation, and in terms of strategy, it is necessary to maintain duration and increase the weight of band trading in an environment of low coupons and expensive funds [16]. 3. Summary by Relevant Directory 3.1 Q1 Bond Market and Central Bank's Concerns - The bond market in Q1 was characterized by "tight funds" and "negative Carry". The central bank mentioned the excessive decline of long - term bond yields in several articles in January. The bond market showed some immunity to the central bank's "verbal intervention", and long - term bond yields remained in the range of 1.60% - 1.65% [4][5]. - The central bank's influence on the bond market in Q1 was multi - faceted. It reversed the expectation of a "moderately loose" monetary policy, increased the central level of capital interest rates while maintaining reasonable and ample liquidity, and led to the collapse of long - positions in the bond market in February [8][9]. - From the perspective of the interval returns of medium - and long - term bond funds, 75% of public funds in January - February 2025 were in a loss state, indicating that the short - term long - position clustering in the bond market was actually broken [10]. 3.2 Marginal Changes in the Central Bank's Stance on the Bond Market - There may be no so - called "desirable point". The central bank's articles this year mainly focused on "curbing the excessive decline of long - term bonds" and "preventing interest rate risks". Referring to the first article after the bond market correction at the beginning of the year, minus a 10bp policy interest rate cut, the corresponding 10 - year treasury bond yield may be 1.55% [13][16]. - Since Q2, the central bank has rarely mentioned concerns about bond market yields, and its key goal has shifted to stable growth. After the equal - tariff implementation on April 3, the central bank's short - term policy goal shifted from "preventing idle funds" and "stabilizing the exchange rate" in Q1 to "stable growth" [16]. - Historically, the central bank's risk warnings in Q1 preceded the inflection point of interest rates. If interest rates decline rapidly in the future, the central bank may issue risk warnings again. Currently, the bond market is in a range - bound oscillation, and strategies should focus on maintaining duration and increasing band trading [16].
