Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating The document does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints - Guizhou is a typical key province with relatively weak economic and fiscal strength, but the debt burden has been significantly relieved after debt resolution. The progress of debt resolution is approaching the end, and there is still a demand for new financing at the provincial, municipal, and high - tech district levels, mainly relying on industrialization entities [4][19][21]. - The debt pressure in Guizhou has been alleviated, and the public - market debt issuance is cautious. The debt structure is relatively balanced. The transformation progress of listed and second - type urban investment companies is not fast, and there is no clear provincial coordination time for delisting [4][19]. - For bond selection, short - term varieties of both traditional urban investment and newly emerged market - oriented entities can be considered. Traditional urban investment's standard - bond market is shrinking, and the remaining part has a stronger safety margin. Market - oriented entities are currently the key recommended targets in the region, with relatively controllable credit risks in the short term. A cautious attitude is still maintained towards medium - and long - term credit products [4][21]. 3.
