Core Viewpoint - The traditional land finance model is unsustainable, leading to a sharp decline in local fiscal revenue and land transfer fees, prompting local governments to seek new avenues for asset management and financial sustainability [1][6][9]. Group 1: Background and Context - Since the end of 2022, local governments have faced concentrated debt risks, with a pressing need to resolve these debts while traditional land finance is no longer viable [8][6]. - In 2021, land transfer fees across 300 cities in China dropped from 6.5 trillion yuan to 4.8 trillion yuan in 2022, a decline of over 25% [6]. Group 2: Three Assets Reform - Local governments are attempting to revitalize dormant resources, assets, and funds (referred to as "three assets") through market-oriented operations [2][4]. - The "three assets" reform aims to convert dormant state-owned resources into active assets, transforming assets into liquid capital and leveraging funds for greater effect [4][6]. Group 3: Implementation and Examples - Hubei and Anhui provinces are leading the charge in reforming the management of state-owned assets, with Hubei's state-owned assets reaching 16.48 trillion yuan and administrative assets at 1.95 trillion yuan by the end of 2024 [3][13]. - Hubei's reform principles emphasize assetization, securitization, and leveraging of state-owned resources, aiming to create a virtuous cycle of resource, asset, and capital management [10][12]. Group 4: Financial Innovations - The transformation of static assets into dynamic capital is a key focus, utilizing innovative financial tools rather than traditional methods of use, sale, or lease [16][34]. - A notable case is the successful issuance of Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) for the Hongshan Artificial Intelligence Building, which raised 301 million yuan at a low interest rate of 2.5% [24][25]. Group 5: Broader Implications and Replicability - The reform model from Hubei is gaining attention nationwide, with other provinces like Anhui and Hunan exploring similar market-oriented strategies to activate dormant assets [35][38]. - The core methodology of Hubei's reform, which includes principles like "assetization" and "securitization," provides a clear framework for replication in other regions [37][39].

10月24日，安徽省政府新闻办召开专题新闻发布会，解读《安徽省推进"大资产"统筹管理总体工作方案》。安徽省财政厅厅长谷剑锋在新闻发布会上直言， 截至2024年底，全省企业国有资产达16.48万亿元，行政事业性国有资产1.95万亿元。这些资产如果能够有效盘活，将释放巨大的发展动能。 经济观察报记者 王雅洁 面对规模庞大的国有"家底"，地方正尝试通过市场化运作，让沉睡的资源、资产、资金（下称"三资"）焕发新价值。 10月16日，湖北省委副书记、省长李殿勋在武汉市调研国有三资管理改革并召开推进会部署重点任务。 这场改革并非一时兴起，而是压力与机遇并存下的选择。 2022年底以来，各地债务风险集中暴露，地方政府化解债务重任在身。 与此同时，传统的土地财政模式难以为继——全国300城土地出让金从2021年的6.5万亿元跌至2022年的4.8万亿元，跌幅超过25%。 上述湖北国资人士说："我们面临着双重压力，一方面是化解债务风险的紧迫任务，另一方面是要在土地收入锐减的情况下，找到新的财政可持续路径。" 两地的举措，将三资改革推入公众视野。 所谓三资改革，就是通过市场化手段，把"沉睡"的国有资源变成活的资产，把资产变成流动 ...
