1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The one - package debt - resolution policy has effectively curbed the growth of local debt and mitigated debt risks, but the scale of local debt still rises, and future policies and risks need re - evaluation [5]. - Most debt - resolution policies will gradually withdraw, but policies on urban investment bonds may continue. The focus will be on accelerating the clearance of financing platforms and promoting their substantial transformation [65][74]. - The credit spreads of urban investment bonds may widen, and investors are advised to be cautious and select regions with valuation safety margins and entities with clear government support [80][84]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Policy Review: Continued Debt - Resolution Ideas and Strengthened Debt - Resolution Efforts - **Policy Background**: From 2022 to 2023, the local fiscal self - sufficiency rate declined, the local fiscal revenue decreased, and the expenditure increased, leading to intensified fiscal revenue - expenditure contradictions. Multiple regions faced debt risk hidden dangers, which prompted the introduction of the one - package debt - resolution plan [6][8]. - **Policy Framework**: After July 2023, fiscal and financial policies supported the resolution of local government illegal debts and financing platform debts respectively. The policy ideas were generally consistent with the previous round, but the scope of debt expanded and focused on key provinces. The policy also adopted a list - based management model [11][14]. - **Local Government Illegal Debts**: In terms of stock resolution, the types of debts that can be repaid by local government generalized replacement bonds expanded, the scale increased significantly, and the regions were more concentrated. In terms of increment constraint, Document 47 restricted government investment in key provinces, and a long - term mechanism for preventing local debt risks was gradually established [23][29]. - **Financing Platform Debts**: For financial debts, the policy strengthened both the support for resolving existing debts and the restriction on new debts, using new tools such as unified borrowing and repayment of urban investment bonds, syndicated loans to replace non - standard debts, and central emergency liquidity loans. For arrears, the policy's efforts to control growth and resolve stocks were relatively limited [33][42]. 3.2 Policy Effects: Slowed Debt Growth and Mitigated Debt Risks - **Urban Investment Debts**: The growth rate of urban investment interest - bearing debt decreased, especially in key provinces. The debt structure improved, the annual interest - payment rate decreased, and the credit spreads of urban investment bonds narrowed significantly. The number of debt - risk public opinions also decreased [46][56][58]. - **Local Debts**: The growth rate of local debts decreased, and the difference with the social financing growth rate narrowed. The proportion of urban investment interest - bearing debt in local debts decreased, indicating an improved debt structure. The growth rate of local government bonds declined, and the proportion of generalized replacement bonds increased [60][61][62]. 3.3 Policy Outlook: Ordered Withdrawal of Debt - Resolution and Promotion of Platform Transformation - **Most Debt - Resolution Policies Will Gradually Withdraw**: Fiscal and financial support for debt - resolution will decline. The scale of debt replacement may decrease significantly in the second half of 2026. The number of financing platforms has dropped by over 80%, and the policy may return to emphasizing local autonomous debt - resolution [65][66][67]. - **Accelerating the Clearance of Financing Platforms and Promoting Substantial Transformation**: In 2026, the central government will optimize debt - restructuring methods, including relaxing the pre - conditions for debt restructuring and promoting the trusteeship of implicit debts through "unified borrowing and repayment" to accelerate the platform - exit process. However, the substantial transformation of financing platforms remains a long - term task [74][75][77]. 3.4 Urban Investment Strategies: Spreads May Widen and Seek Safety Margins - **Low Default Risk but High Valuation Risk**: The default risk of urban investment bonds is expected to remain low, but there is a risk of valuation adjustment. From the perspectives of credit spreads, credit risks, and supply changes, the credit spreads of urban investment bonds are likely to widen [80][81]. - **Select Regions with Valuation Safety Margins and Entities with Clear Government Support**: In the short term, investors should be more vigilant about the regional differentiation risks caused by the withdrawal of central support. Regionally, focus on areas where bond yields are not overly compressed, such as Shanxi, Beijing, and Shanghai. At the entity level, pay attention to entities with clear government support, such as market - oriented declaration entities [84][85][86].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - In 2025, Sichuan Province's implicit debt resolution progress exceeded the scheduled progress, with the resolution progress by the end of 2025 not less than 65%. In 2026, the scale of "fiscal debt resolution" by the Sichuan provincial government may decline, and the focus of debt resolution will shift to the resolution of operating debt risks [4][5][6]. Summary by Directory 1. Estimation of the Province-wide Debt Resolution Progress - By leveraging the central special debt resolution policy and local self - debt resolution, Sichuan Province's implicit debt resolution progress exceeded the scheduled progress in 2025. As of the end of 2023, the national implicit debt balance was 14.3 trillion yuan. Based on the one - time implicit debt replacement refinancing special bond quota obtained by Sichuan Province (344.4 billion yuan), the implicit debt scale in Sichuan Province at the end of 2023 was estimated to be about 820 billion yuan [4]. - Besides issuing government bonds to replace implicit debts, Sichuan Province also resolved implicit debts through various means such as fiscal budgets and asset revitalization. By estimating based on Chengdu, as of the end of 2025, Sichuan Province's implicit debt scale did not exceed 287.8 billion yuan, and the implicit debt resolution progress was not less than 65%. By the end of 2025, Chengdu's implicit debt was nearly 80% resolved, and the reduction rate of financing platforms reached 86% [5]. 2. Key Points of Debt Resolution in Sichuan Province in 2026 - As the debt resolution work achieved certain results, in 2026, the scale of "fiscal debt resolution" by the Sichuan provincial government may decline, and the focus of debt resolution will shift to the resolution of operating debt risks. The prevention and resolution of operating debt risks formed during the market - oriented operation of urban investment companies will become the key point of local debt resolution in the next stage [6]. - Sichuan Province will "take multiple measures to resolve the operating debt risks of local government financing platforms and strictly prohibit the illegal addition of implicit debts" as the key work of debt risk resolution in 2026 [7]. - From 2023, Sichuan's urban investment companies have made useful attempts in resolving operating debt risks. The operating debt scale of Sichuan's urban investment companies is relatively high in cities such as Chengdu (about 50% of the province), Mianyang (4.3%), Yibin (3.7%), Meishan (3.2%), and Luzhou (2.7%). The resolution of operating debts can be achieved through introducing strategic investors, market - oriented debt - to - equity swaps, using operating income, and revitalizing existing assets [9].
