Among them, 587 bond-issuing urban investment platforms have received special-purpose bond projects since 2025, including 4 first-time recipients in 2025 and 248 in 2024 [19]. - In terms of administrative levels, district-level and prefecture-level cities are the main recipients, accounting for 42% and 30% respectively. In terms of subject ratings, AA+ and AA subjects account for a relatively large proportion, accounting for 32% and 46% respectively [23]. - Since 2019, self-review and self-issuance provinces such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Sichuan have more bond-issuing urban investment platforms in undertaking special-purpose bond projects, significantly more than non-self-review and self-issuance provinces.
