Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core View of the Report - The spread of ultra-long bonds has reached a new high. The yield center of ultra-long credit bonds has continued to rise, the primary issuance has stopped, and the secondary market has shown weak performance. Due to the lack of incremental capital support, the duration strategy still needs to be cautious before the market sentiment significantly recovers [2][3][4] Group 3: Summary According to the Directory 1. Stock Market Characteristics - The yield center of ultra-long credit bonds has continued to rise. During the week of September 29 - September 30, 2025, the bond market sentiment remained weak, and the interest rate center of stock ultra-long credit bonds further increased. Compared with the previous week, the number of stock ultra-long credit bonds with a yield of 2.6% - 2.7% increased to 248 [2][11][12] 2. Primary Issuance Situation - There was no issuance of ultra-long credit bonds in the week before the National Day [3][20] 3. Secondary Trading Performance - The decline of the ultra-long credit bond index was greater than that of other mainstream bond varieties. This week, the index prices of medium - short - term credit bonds and bank sub - debt showed signs of stabilization, but the ultra-long credit bond index still led the decline. The index of AA + credit bonds with a maturity of over 10 years decreased by 0.24% month - on - month [4][21] - The liquidity of ultra-long credit bonds was under pressure. Within two trading days this week, the total number of transactions of general credit bonds with a maturity of over 7 years was 62, and the trend of weakening liquidity continued. In terms of long - bond pricing, the yield and spread of ultra-long credit bonds both increased in the latest week. The increase in the transaction yield of general credit bonds with a maturity of over 10 years was at the forefront, and the spread with 20 - 30 - year treasury bonds widened to over 50bp [4][24] - The trading sentiment of ultra-long credit bonds was weak. The TKN ratio of varieties with a maturity of over 10 years was at a low level, and the deviation of high - valuation transactions was much higher than that of long - term bonds with a maturity of less than 10 years [4][28] - In terms of the investor structure, funds continued to sell ultra-long credit bonds. Concerns about controlling duration risk and the liquidity flaws of the varieties still affected the allocation behavior of trading desks. The purchasing power of institutions such as insurance and wealth management was limited, and the allocation desks had not formed effective support. It was difficult to reverse the adjustment trend of ultra-long credit bonds in the short term [4][32] - From a more microscopic perspective, the spread between active ultra-long credit bonds of each maturity and treasury bonds of similar maturities rose to a 24 - year high this week, and the spread of varieties around 10 years widened to a new high this year. Looking forward, although the coupon advantage of ultra-long credit bonds is apparent after the adjustment, due to the lack of incremental capital support, the duration strategy still needs to be cautious before the market sentiment significantly recovers [4][34]

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].
