1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Zhejiang Province has made phased achievements in debt resolution through multiple measures such as seeking superior funds, issuing special refinancing bonds, and controlling project investments. The province's 11 prefecture - level cities have formed a pattern of "full - scale promotion and gradient clearance" around debt reduction goals, with some regions achieving zero implicit debt and "dual zero" goals. At the same time, Zhejiang's urban investment enterprises' debt scale continues to grow but at a slower pace, with an optimized financing structure, and the short - term debt ratio has slightly increased. However, challenges remain, including regional differentiation, continued growth in accounts receivable in some areas, slowdown in investment growth, and insufficient self - hematopoietic ability in some urban investment enterprises. Therefore, it's necessary to plan for debt resolution and market - oriented transformation of urban investment enterprises simultaneously to improve their operational efficiency and risk - resistance ability [3][9][34]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Zhejiang Province's Debt Control Situation - **Seeking Superior Funds**: In 2024, Zhejiang obtained 69.764 billion yuan in ultra - long - term special treasury bonds and 327.9 billion yuan in new special bonds, with 290.1 billion yuan used for project construction, accounting for 9.1% of the national total, and 37.8 billion yuan for the completion of existing government investment projects [5]. - **Implicit Debt Replacement**: In 2024, the Ministry of Finance allocated a local government debt limit of 244.2 billion yuan to Zhejiang in three - year installments (81.4 billion yuan per year from 2024 - 2026). In 2024 and 2025, Zhejiang (including Ningbo) fully used the "special bonds for implicit debt replacement" quota of 81.4 billion yuan each year. The issuance of special refinancing bonds in 2025 was faster than the national average, which lowered the average financing cost of urban investment enterprises [5]. - **Controlling Project Investment**: Cities like Jiaxing and Taizhou proposed to control project investment to prevent new debt. They sorted out and reviewed existing government investment projects, strengthened support for key projects, and carefully considered or postponed non - urgent projects. They also tightened the review of new projects and coordinated the connection between the fiscal budget and the government investment plan [6]. - **Regional Achievements**: As of the end of September 2025, some regions in Zhejiang, such as Lin'an District and Chun'an County in Hangzhou, Zhoushan City, etc., achieved zero implicit debt, and some areas completed the "dual zero" goals of implicit debt resolution and platform exit.

The cash - to - short - term - debt ratio of cities in Zhejiang ranged from 0.3 to 0.5 times, with Lishui having the highest ratio. In 2025, the short - term debt - servicing ability of all cities improved to some extent [33].

Core Viewpoints of the Report - The "package debt resolution plan" advanced its efforts, with two "500 billion" injections in succession, highlighting the policy approach of balancing debt resolution and development. The intensified proactive fiscal policy is expected to ease the liquidity pressure on local governments and urban investment enterprises [4][5]. - In Q3 2025, the issuance scale of urban investment bonds increased both year - on - year and quarter - on - quarter, and the net repayment scale narrowed significantly.

The issuance scale of key provinces decreased year - on - year but increased significantly quarter - on - quarter, with a quarter - on - quarter increase of about 26%. The net repayment scale of both key and non - key provinces narrowed significantly. In non - key provinces, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Guangdong had large net inflows, while Jiangsu had the largest net repayment scale of 45.09 billion yuan. In key provinces, except for Tianjin, Liaoning, Qinghai, and Inner Mongolia, other provinces had net repayments, and Chongqing had the largest net repayment scale of 9.293 billion yuan [13][15]. - In terms of credit ratings, the issuance of urban investment bonds was still dominated by AA + and AAA - rated entities, with high - level entities accounting for over 77%.

The issuance of ultra - long - term (10 years and above) urban investment bonds was 128 issues with a scale of 84.028 billion yuan, increasing both year - on - year and quarter - on - quarter. Non - key provinces were the main issuers of ultra - long - term urban investment bonds, with the issuers mainly in Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and other economically developed provinces [20]. - In Q3, the issuance interest rate and spread of urban investment bonds fluctuated upward, but the spread center decreased quarter - on - quarter.

A total of 68 urban investment entities newly issued bonds, with 89 issues and a scale of 53.591 billion yuan [28][29]. Outlook - In Q4, the maturity and repayment scale of urban investment bonds will decline, but considering the large total debt of urban investment enterprises, the interest payment pressure remains severe, and the repayment pressure on urban investment bonds in Q4 will not decrease. Attention should be paid to the liquidity pressure in regions with high concentrated repayment pressure and district - county - level urban investment enterprises. The scale of outstanding urban investment bonds at the end of Q3 was about 13.36 trillion yuan. Assuming that all callable bonds are exercised, the maturity scale of urban investment bonds in Q4 2025 is 1.2 trillion yuan, a decrease of about 15% compared with Q4 2024 [33][35]. - The powerful incremental debt resolution plan has achieved phased results, significantly reducing costs and accelerating the transformation of urban investment enterprises.

After the replacement of implicit debt with local government debt, the average interest cost of debt decreased by over 2.5 percentage points, saving over 450 billion yuan in interest payments. As of the end of June 2025, over 60% of financing platforms had exited. In the future, urban investment enterprises will be classified and disposed of in an orderly manner, and some financing platforms may be forced to accelerate their market - oriented transformation. Urban investment enterprises should explore substantial transformation paths based on their own conditions and regional resource endowments [37][38].

Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly state an investment rating for the industry or companies involved in the "retirement from platform" initiative [3]. Core Insights - The "retirement from platform" initiative is driven by policy changes aimed at decoupling local government financing from city investment companies, mitigating hidden debt risks, and promoting market-oriented transformations [3][4]. - From 2021 to 2023, entities undergoing retirement from platforms have shown improvements in business transformation, with a notable increase in the proportion of non-city investment business revenue [3][13]. - The credit ratings of the retiring platform entities predominantly fall within the AA and AA+ categories, with a significant concentration of these entities at the county level [13][22]. Summary by Sections 1. Policy Overview - The retirement from platform initiative has undergone three main phases, including exits from the CBRC and the Ministry of Finance's city investment platform lists, driven by the need to break financing constraints and seize development opportunities [6][9]. - The initiative is a response to the central government's push to address hidden debt risks and facilitate the market-oriented transformation of city investment companies [6][12]. 2.
