Report Industry Investment Rating The document does not mention the industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The new features of local government bonds include scale expansion, longer terms, and declining interest rates. The position of special bonds in local government bonds is becoming increasingly prominent. The issuance scale of local government bonds is restricted by the issuance quota, and the issuance rhythm is evolving towards a more balanced distribution. There are three stages of debt resolution: non - government bond replacement, implicit debt resolution, and expansion of the replacement scope. The investor structure of local government bonds is dominated by commercial banks, and the market is relatively concentrated. Currently, there may be room for the spread of local government bonds to compress, and attention should be paid to 3Y, 20Y, and 30Y local government bonds as well as "flying" bonds [2]. Summary by Relevant Directory 1. New Features of Local Government Bonds: Scale Expansion, Longer Terms, and Declining Interest Rates - Since 2015, local government bonds have become the only legal borrowing channel for local governments. In 2025 (January - September), the issuance scale was 8.53 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 1.85 trillion yuan; the average issuance interest rate was 1.93%, a year - on - year decrease of 44bp; the weighted average issuance term was 15.63 years, a year - on - year increase of 2.46 years [7]. - Special bonds are becoming more prominent. From 2015 to 2024, the issuance scale of general bonds was between 1.7 trillion and 3.6 trillion yuan, and its proportion in local government bonds decreased from 74.6% to 21.1%. The issuance scale of special bonds increased from 0.97 trillion yuan to 7.7 trillion yuan, with an average annual compound growth rate of 25.84%, and its proportion increased from 25.4% to 78.9% [13]. - The weighted average issuance term of local government bonds has significantly lengthened, from 10.3 years in 2019 to 15.6 years in 2025 (as of September 30). The proportion of local government bonds with a term of over 20 years has increased from 20.12% in 2021 to 31.95% in 2024 [18]. - In 2025 (January - September), the funds of new local government bonds were mainly invested in traditional infrastructure and land development, such as municipal and industrial park infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, land reserve, etc. [22] 2. Factors Affecting the Issuance Scale and Implementation Effect of Local Government Bonds 2.1 Issuance Scale Constrained by Quotas and Rhythm Evolving towards Balance - The issuance scale of local government bonds is restricted by the issuance quota. It is estimated that the early - batch quota for 2026 is about 3.12 trillion yuan. The issuance rhythm has shifted from being concentrated in the second and third quarters to a more balanced distribution throughout the year [36]. 2.2 Market Impact of Local Government Bond Supply Regulated by Institutional Demand and Supporting Policies - The impact of local government bond supply on the market is affected by the allocation demand of financial institutions. Commercial banks are the main holders of local government bonds, and their allocation willingness is affected by asset returns, regulatory requirements, market sentiment, and the "asset shortage" situation [39]. - The central bank's supporting liquidity policies can alleviate the impact of supply shocks. When local government bonds are issued on a large scale, the central bank can use policies such as reserve requirement ratio cuts and medium - term lending facilities to maintain the reasonable and sufficient liquidity of the banking system [40]. 3. Three Stages of Debt Resolution 3.1 Types of Local Government Bonds for Debt Resolution - There have been three types of local government bonds for debt resolution in history, and two types are still being issued. Replacement bonds (issued from 2015 - 2019) were used to replace non - government bond - form local government stock debts; special refinancing bonds (initially issued in 2020) are used to repay local government stock implicit debts; new local government special bonds have been used for debt resolution since 2024, with 80 billion yuan allocated annually for five consecutive years [43]. 3.2 Three Stages of Debt Resolution - Replacement of non - government bonds (2015 - 2018): Through the issuance of replacement bonds, most of the non - government bond - form debts such as loans and corporate bonds were converted into legal debts, laying the foundation for the local bond management system [46]. - Resolution of implicit debts (since 2017): After the concept of "implicit debt" was proposed in 2017, relevant policies were issued to start the process of implicit debt resolution. Special refinancing bonds have been used to resolve implicit debts, and some regions have achieved zero implicit debts [47]. - Expansion of the replacement scope: The replacement scope of replacement bonds has expanded to areas outside of implicit debts, such as repaying government - owed enterprise accounts and dealing with government - owed payments in PPP contracts [49]. 4. Investor Structure of Local Government Bonds As of the end of August 2025, investors in the inter - bank bond market held 50.77 trillion yuan of local government bonds, accounting for 95.78%. Among them, commercial banks held 37.68 trillion yuan, accounting for 71.08% [52]. 5. Investment Recommendations 5.1 Compression Opportunities for Current Local Government Bond Spreads - The implementation of debt - resolution policies and the improvement of liquidity have increased the possibility of local government bond spread compression. Currently, the spreads of 3Y, 20Y, and 30Y local government bonds are at relatively high historical levels, and there may be room for compression [56][59]. 5.2 Attention to "Flying" Bonds - "Flying" bonds refer to bonds with unexpectedly high issuance interest rates. The spreads of "flying" bonds generally show a narrowing trend after issuance. In 2025 (as of the third quarter), there were 27 local government bonds with a spread of 30BP or more, mostly with a term of 15 years and mainly new special bonds [66][67].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the first three quarters of 2025, the issuance scale and net financing of local government bonds reached a record high for the same period, with the 2 - trillion - yuan implicit debt replacement nearing completion. The fourth - quarter government bond supply pressure is expected to decline, and the incremental fiscal policy will maintain its previous positive tone, with ample room for future action. The bond market interest rate is expected to fluctuate downward within a certain range, and efforts will continue to be made to resolve debts while promoting development and build a long - term government debt management mechanism [2][32][34]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Local Government Bond - Related Policy Review - Fiscal policy: A more active fiscal policy is implemented, with a larger - scale government bond issuance plan. The fiscal deficit rate is increased to about 4%, and the deficit scale is 5.66 trillion yuan. The planned issuance of ultra - long - term special treasury bonds is 1.3 trillion yuan, and special treasury bonds of 500 billion yuan are to support state - owned banks in replenishing core tier - one capital. The new local government special bond quota is 4.4 trillion yuan. The government also promotes the early issuance and use of bonds and guides and drives social capital [4][5][6]. - Debt replacement: The implicit debt replacement policy is accelerated, with a 6 - trillion - yuan local government debt quota approved to replace the stock implicit debt from 2024 - 2026, 2 trillion yuan per year. Additionally, 80 billion yuan is allocated from new local government special bonds annually for five consecutive years for debt resolution. The debt - risk - high area list is dynamically adjusted [7][8]. - Debt management: The local debt monitoring system and government debt risk indicator system are improved, and the special bond management mechanism is optimized. Penalties for illegal debt - raising and false debt - resolution are strengthened, and the reform and transformation of local government financing platforms are promoted [9]. 3.2 Review of the Local Government Bond Market in the First Three Quarters of 2025 - **Issuance overview**: In the first three quarters of 2025, 1,816 local government bonds were issued, totaling 8.53 trillion yuan, a 27.60% increase year - on - year. Special bonds accounted for 75.96% of new issuances. New bonds were issued at 4.35 trillion yuan, and refinancing bonds at 4.18 trillion yuan, with 1.99 trillion yuan of special refinancing special bonds for implicit debt replacement. The net financing was 6.15 trillion yuan, a 54.24% increase. The issuance of land reserve special bonds accelerated in Q3. The issuance of bonds with a term of 10 years or more increased, and the weighted average issuance term was 15.63 years. Economically active regions and "self - review and self - issuance" pilot areas were the main issuers of new special bonds, while key provinces mainly issued refinancing bonds [13][19][20]. - **Interest rate and spread analysis**: In Q3 2025, the average issuance interest rate of local government bonds rebounded due to multiple factors. The average issuance interest rates in Q1, Q2, and Q3 were 1.94%, 1.85%, and 2.01% respectively. The spread widened in the first three quarters of 2025, and there were significant differences in the spread trends among provinces [22][23]. - **Investment areas of local government special bonds**: In the first three quarters of 2025, infrastructure was the main focus of special bond funds. The top three investment areas were urban infrastructure, transportation infrastructure construction, and urban - rural development, accounting for 51.95% of the total. Land reserve special bonds for idle land recovery projects restarted, with an issuance amount accounting for 7.01% [29]. 3.3 Future Outlook for Local Government Bonds - **Issuance outlook**: In the fourth quarter, the government bond issuance will enter the final stage, with reduced supply pressure. The new local government debt quota for 2026 is expected to be issued more quickly. The planned issuance of local government bonds in Q4 is 1.26 trillion yuan, including 730 billion yuan of new special bonds [32]. - **Fiscal policy outlook**: The fiscal policy will maintain its previous positive tone in Q4, with funds tilted towards large economic provinces. The government will strengthen the supervision of relevant funds and project lifecycle management [34]. - **Interest rate outlook**: The bond market interest rate is expected to fluctuate downward within a certain range, affected by multiple factors such as monetary policy, market sentiment, and policy changes [35]. - **Debt management outlook**: The principle of resolving debts while promoting development will be adhered to, and efforts will be made to build a long - term government debt management mechanism. The government will continue to implement a package of debt - resolution measures, strengthen debt management, and improve the performance of bond fund use [36][37].

数据在地方债务管理方面的几点妙用
Zheng Quan Ri Bao· 2025-10-19 17:45
Core Viewpoint - The integration of data as a key element in government debt management is essential for enhancing efficiency and enabling economic development [1][2]. Group 1: Current Challenges in Debt Management - Fragmentation of information creates "data barriers" that hinder effective local government debt management, making it difficult to share critical information across various sectors [1]. - Key metrics such as debt scale, fund flow, project returns, and repayment capacity are not integrated, leading to challenges in precise policy implementation and risk prevention [1]. Group 2: Solutions Through Data Integration - Data integration allows for a more accurate assessment of local debt, moving beyond traditional reliance on macroeconomic indicators like GDP and fiscal revenue [2]. - The establishment of a debt big data supervision system by the Ministry of Finance in Anhui serves as a model, integrating core indicators to create a dynamic government debt analysis model [2]. Group 3: Proactive Risk Management - Data-driven risk warning mechanisms enable proactive risk management, allowing for early detection and response to potential debt risks [2][3]. - For instance, the city of Yingde in Guangdong utilizes a local government debt management system to regularly assess key indicators and issue timely risk alerts [3]. Group 4: Addressing Structural Mismatches - Structural mismatches between funding supply and actual project needs are a core pain point in local debt management [3]. - By utilizing data to connect the entire chain from funding supply to project outcomes, local governments can ensure that funds are directed towards projects that generate returns and have repayment capacity [3]. Group 5: Future Directions for Data Utilization - To fully leverage data in debt management, it is crucial to break down departmental "data silos" and ensure secure data circulation [4]. - Investments in data centers, computing networks, and security infrastructure, along with improved data governance rules, are necessary to facilitate effective data sharing [4].
