The government - funded revenue has decreased due to the real estate market, while the superior subsidy revenue ranks first in the country, supporting the comprehensive fiscal strength. The comprehensive fiscal strength ranks 4th in China [17][18][21] - By the end of 2024, Sichuan's government debt balance was 2.40289 trillion yuan, with a debt ratio of 143.87% and a debt - to - GDP ratio of 37.14%. The government has been actively reducing debt through measures such as obtaining replacement bonds, introducing incentive mechanisms, and strengthening debt management since 2024 [24][26][27] Group 2: Economic and Fiscal Strength of Sichuan's Prefecture - level Cities Economic Development - The economic development of Sichuan's prefecture - level cities is uneven. The Chengdu Plain Economic Zone and the Southern Sichuan Economic Zone have better industrial bases. Chengdu has far stronger economic strength than other cities, and Panzhihua has the highest per - capita GDP in the province [28][29][33] Fiscal Revenue - In 2024, most prefecture - level cities' general public budget revenues increased, with growth rates concentrated between 2% - 10%. The government - funded revenues of most cities decreased, and the superior subsidy revenue contributed significantly to the comprehensive fiscal strength [37][38][39] Debt - The government debt balances of all prefecture - level cities have increased, and the debt ratios have generally risen. Zigong, Suining, Bazhong, and Neijiang have relatively high debt ratios. All cities are following Sichuan's overall debt - reduction strategy [48][49] Group 3: Sichuan's Urban Investment Enterprises Overview - As of October 22, 2025, there are 218 urban investment enterprises with outstanding bonds in Sichuan. Most of them are at the district - county level, and the credit ratings are mainly AA. Chengdu has the largest number of such enterprises [52] Bond Issuance - In 2024, the number and scale of bond issuances by Sichuan's urban investment enterprises decreased slightly. From 2024 to September 2025, most cities' urban investment enterprises had a net outflow of bond financing, and the outstanding bond balances decreased [54][55][57] Debt - paying Ability - The total debt of most urban investment enterprises has increased, with the debt structure mainly composed of bank financing and bond financing. The overall debt - to - capital ratio has slightly increased, and the cash - to - short - term debt ratio has decreased. Suining's urban investment enterprises face significant short - term debt - paying pressure [60][61][65] Support from Fiscal Revenue - Except for Liangshan and Ya'an, the ratio of "total debt of bond - issuing urban investment enterprises + local government debt" to comprehensive fiscal revenue in other cities exceeds 200%, with Chengdu exceeding 500% [73]

Supply and Demand Forecasts - The supply-demand balance for phosphate rock is expected to remain tight due to limited new production capacity and increasing demand from the new energy sector. The average market price is currently stable at around 1,000 yuan per ton, with expectations for prices to remain high in the coming years [10][12]. - The lithium iron phosphate market is projected to maintain a compound annual growth rate of around 30% from 2025 to 2027, driven by the rapid growth in demand for electric vehicle and energy storage batteries [11]. Organic Silicon Market Outlook - The organic silicon market is anticipated to see changes in demand structure, with a shift towards photovoltaic and new energy vehicle applications. However, growth rates may slow due to high penetration rates in the new energy vehicle sector [18]. - The current capacity utilization rate in the organic silicon industry is below 70%, indicating potential for adjustment. The industry is planning to implement production cuts to control supply, which may support price increases [19][21]. Conclusion - The chemical sector, particularly in phosphate and lithium iron phosphate, presents significant investment opportunities due to strong demand growth and favorable market conditions. Companies with robust production capacities and strategic positioning are likely to benefit from these trends. The organic silicon market also shows potential for recovery, contingent on effective supply management and cost stabilization.
