Report Overview - The Ministry of Finance recently issued the "Interim Provisions on the Accounting Treatment of Local Government Special Bond - Related Business" (Caikuai [2025] No. 17), aiming to improve the accounting treatment of special bond - related business, optimize the management mechanism, and strengthen the full - process management of special bonds [4]. Core Viewpoints - The pre - setting of the process for confirming the main body of special bond repayment obligations helps enterprises be more cautious when applying for special bond projects [8]. - After the implementation of the "Provisions", if the conditions for "project units not bearing the repayment obligations of special bonds" are not met, it may be unsustainable to include existing special bonds in capital reserves and recognize subsidies, and the debt - servicing pressure of such enterprises may increase to varying degrees [9]. - The "Special Bond Project Investment Table" helps strengthen the management of special bond funds, and the "Special Bond Fund Repayment Situation Table" helps monitor the principal and interest repayment of special bonds in real - time and prevent local government debt risks [15]. Specific Requirements of the "Provisions" Accounting Treatment of Special Bond Funds for Enterprise - Type Project Units - If an enterprise - type project unit is required to bear the principal and interest repayment obligations of special bond funds according to the project implementation plan or financing balance plan, it should recognize them as liabilities and conduct subsequent accounting treatment in accordance with relevant regulations; if not, it should conduct accounting treatment in accordance with relevant enterprise accounting standards [5]. - Starting from January 1, 2026, enterprises should compile the "Special Bond Project Investment Table" and the "Special Bond Fund Repayment Situation Table", collecting and organizing various information such as the amount of special bond funds received, repaid, and spent, and the situation of asset formation [6][7]. Accounting Treatment Details - **Accounting for obtaining special bond funds with repayment obligations**: When receiving funds, debit "Bank Deposit" and credit "Long - term Payable - Special Bonds (Principal)"; when accruing interest, debit relevant cost accounts and credit "Long - term Payable - Special Bonds (Interest)"; when repaying principal and interest, debit "Long - term Payable - Special Bonds (Principal, Interest)" and credit "Bank Deposit" [6]. - **Accounting for constructing assets related to special bond projects**: Use special bond funds for project construction and form relevant assets according to enterprise accounting standards, and conduct auxiliary accounting according to the source of project funds [6]. - **Accounting for obtaining special bond project income**: Account for income in accordance with relevant regulations. If project income is used to repay special bond principal and interest, set up a secondary detailed account or use auxiliary accounting to mark the source of debt - servicing funds [6]. Impact on Enterprises Project Application - The pre - setting of the confirmation process for special bond repayment obligation subjects makes enterprises more cautious when applying for special bond projects, as they need to carefully calculate project investment, income, and their own funds [8]. Financial Statements and Debt - Servicing Ability - **Impact on liability - related indicators**: If special bonds transferred to capital reserves need to be borne by the enterprise, the asset - liability ratio of sample enterprises will increase by 0.55 - 3.59 percentage points, and the debt burden will rise [11]. - **Impact on corporate profitability**: If special bond subsidies in other income no longer meet the requirements for being included in profit and loss accounts, it may have a significant impact on corporate profits. For example, a certain urban investment enterprise would have suffered losses without government subsidies related to special bonds in 2024 [14]. - **Impact on debt - servicing pressure**: If the income of special bond investment projects fails to meet expectations, the debt - servicing pressure of project units will increase to varying degrees according to the scale of existing special bonds [14].

Core Viewpoint - The central government emphasizes the need for a systematic and effective clearance of local government financing platforms by June 2027, highlighting the importance of recognizing the urgency and complexity of this task [1][3][6]. Group 1: Historical Context and Current Situation - Government financing platforms have played a crucial role in accelerating urbanization in China, increasing the urbanization rate from 33.35% in 1998 to an expected 67% in 2024 [2]. - The establishment of these platforms has shifted the reliance on fiscal revenue for infrastructure development, introducing a market-oriented mechanism that enhances efficiency and promotes a new operational model involving government, market, and enterprises [2][3]. - However, the number of financing platforms has exceeded 10,000, leading to a high level of existing debt, which poses risks to the financial system [2][4]. Group 2: Challenges and Risks - The current economic environment presents multiple pressures, including the need to manage existing debt, control new debt, and stimulate investment for economic growth [4][5]. - The interlinked nature of urban investment debt and hidden local government debt creates a risk transmission chain, complicating the repayment of existing debts [4][5]. - The reliance on bank loans for liquidity has created additional pressures on financing platforms, with commercial banks exposed to approximately 40 trillion yuan in risks related to urban investment [5]. Group 3: Strategic Framework for Clearance - The central government's directive for a "powerful, orderly, and effective" clearance of financing platforms aims to restructure the fiscal system, financial system, and deepen state-owned enterprise reforms [3][6]. - The clearance process is not merely about debt reduction but involves a comprehensive approach to reforming the financing mechanisms and ensuring sustainable economic development [3][6][8]. - A structured approach is necessary, including phased tasks leading up to the 2027 deadline, categorizing platforms for targeted strategies, and ensuring inter-departmental collaboration [7][8]. Group 4: Implementation and Effectiveness - Effective clearance requires tangible results in debt resolution, functional transformation of financing platforms, and the establishment of a long-term management system to prevent the resurgence of hidden debts [8][9]. - The focus should be on creating a market-oriented operational mechanism that enhances the efficiency of state-owned capital and resources, ensuring that financing platforms can sustainably contribute to urban development [8][9]. - Continuous optimization of the role of financing platforms in investment guidance, asset management, and fiscal burden reduction is essential for their long-term viability [9].
