Core Viewpoint - Local government debt risks have become a significant concern, necessitating a dual challenge of resolving existing debt and restructuring financing models under the constraints of "preventing defaults" [1] Group 1: Project Selection Logic - Incremental projects by urban investment platforms must align with both "serving local functions" and "market-driven revenue generation" [2] - Projects should anchor on national strategic directions such as "Yellow River Basin ecological protection" and "rural revitalization," which attract policy resources and funding [2] - A closed-loop revenue model must be established during the feasibility study phase, exemplified by affordable housing projects that combine commercial space to cover construction costs [3] - Urban investment companies need to transition from "infrastructure builders" to "urban operators," integrating various public utility services to ensure stable revenue streams [4] Group 2: Funding Source Optimization - A mixed funding model of "policy funds as a base + market financing as a supplement" is essential under tight fiscal constraints [5] - Innovative debt instruments and capital raising strategies are necessary, such as leveraging special bonds and policy financial loans to achieve a leverage ratio of 1:5 [5] Group 3: Avoiding Hidden Debt - Breaking the "fiscal dependency inertia" is crucial to avoid new hidden debts, which involves redefining the responsibilities between government and enterprises [6] - Techniques such as market-driven decision-making and cash flow packaging can help mitigate direct fiscal support and reduce the risk of hidden debt recognition [7][8] - Utilizing gray areas in policies, such as indirect fiscal payments and transforming specific project subsidies into broader industry policies, can further reduce hidden debt risks [8] Group 4: Risks and Outlook - While current practices have shown some success, potential risks remain, including regulatory scrutiny and the sustainability of market-driven revenues [9] - Future reforms should focus on balancing risk prevention and growth stabilization, requiring both technical innovations and deeper fiscal reforms [9]
