Group 1: Credit Bond Market Overview - The credit bond market is expected to maintain slight growth in scale, with a structure continuing from 2025, primarily focusing on industrial bonds supplemented by urban investment bonds [6][16] - The supply side is driven by the "14th Five-Year Plan" emphasizing "technological self-reliance," leading to an increased probability of expansion for technology innovation bonds [6][16] - The demand side is anticipated to remain stable overall, but structural changes may occur due to regulatory constraints affecting major buyers, potentially leading to weakened or more volatile demand [6][22] Group 2: Urban Investment Bonds Outlook - The urban investment bond sector is expected to continue facing a "zero tolerance" regulatory environment, maintaining a tight balance in financing, with a focus on debt resolution and market-oriented transformation [6][28] - The strategy for urban investment bonds suggests prioritizing regions with strong local financial resources and successful debt resolution progress, with a focus on extending durations for certain bonds [6][28] - The supply of urban investment bonds is projected to remain limited, with a significant reduction in issuance and net financing, reflecting ongoing regulatory pressures [6][28] Group 3: Industrial Bonds Outlook - The industrial bond sector is expected to maintain a stable issuance pace, with financing capabilities improving as the real economy gradually recovers [7][10] - Demand for industrial bonds is driven by new supply and spillover effects from other sectors, with certain industries like transportation and construction attracting institutional investors due to higher valuation ranges [7][10] Group 4: Perpetual Bonds Outlook - The perpetual bond market is likely to see a slight contraction in new issuance, as banks have less need to issue new perpetual bonds due to improved capital adequacy ratios [10][22] - Demand for perpetual bonds may weaken as institutional investors face challenges in adjusting their investment strategies amid regulatory changes [10][22] Group 5: Credit Expansion Signals and Fundamental Recovery - The overall credit expansion remains limited compared to pre-pandemic levels, with a structural rather than a broad recovery observed across different industries [10][22] - Industries such as electronics and public utilities show signs of credit expansion, while sectors like real estate and food and beverage are experiencing credit contraction [10][22]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints of the Report - The debt resolution in Shandong Province has achieved certain results. The investment and debt growth rates of Shandong's urban investment companies have slowed down since 2024. Weifang City has benefited from debt - resolution policy support, with a decline in the debt scale of urban investment companies and an optimization of the debt structure. However, the overall debt burden of Shandong's urban investment companies is relatively heavy, the proportion of short - term debt is high, and the financing structure needs further optimization. In addition, negative public opinions of some urban investment companies have not been completely eliminated. In the short term, the implementation of the policies of "unified management of three types of debts" and "sinking all implicit debt replacement bonds to cities and counties" has a positive effect on alleviating the liquidity pressure of urban investment companies. In the long run, the core of future debt resolution lies in enhancing the self - hematopoietic ability of urban investment companies and accelerating their substantial transformation [2] Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Debt Management in Shandong Province - **Overall Measures**: Since the implementation of the "package debt - resolution" plan, Shandong Province has taken diversified debt - resolution measures, including issuing 196.5 billion yuan of special refinancing bonds in 2024 to replace implicit debts. It has also coordinated with financial institutions, raised debt - resolution funds through various means, revitalized assets, deepened state - owned enterprise reforms, reduced the number of platforms, and promoted the transformation of enterprises into industrial - type ones [4] - **Policy Support**: In 2024 and 2025, Shandong Province issued a series of policies, such as the implementation of "unified management of three types of debts", the establishment of a financial enterprise alliance, and the promotion of the market - oriented transformation of government platforms. It is also planned to sink implicit debt replacement bonds to cities and counties and ensure the "zeroing out" of stock implicit debts by the end of 2028 [5] - **Regional Measures**: Different cities in Shandong have taken various debt - management measures, such as establishing working groups, strengthening debt monitoring, and implementing the "unified management of three types of debts". Some cities have also completed the replacement of high - interest debts and achieved certain results in debt resolution [6][7] - **Regional Achievements**: Some cities have achieved remarkable results. For example, Qingdao plans to receive an intentional investment of no less than 40 billion yuan from four major AMC in five years; Yantai has completed the replacement of high - interest urban investment debts with a comprehensive financing cost of 7% (inclusive) or above; Weifang has obtained a large amount of replacement bond quotas and carried out a "unified borrowing and repayment" replacement business [8] 2. Changes in Financial Indicators of Urban Investment Companies - **Investment**: Since 2024, the investment growth rate of Shandong's urban investment companies has continued to slow down, and the growth rates of self - operating assets, equity, and fund - type assets have exceeded those of urban construction - type assets. By the end of 2024, most regions had an increase in investment, except for Rizhao, Liaocheng, and Dongying. The regions with a relatively high proportion of urban construction - type assets include Weihai, Tai'an, etc.; those with a relatively high proportion of self - operating assets are Zibo, Jinan, and Yantai; and the regions with a relatively high proportion of equity and fund investment - type assets are Dezhou, Rizhao, and Weifang [11][13][14] - **Receivables**: Since 2024, the accounts receivable scale of Shandong's urban investment companies has continued to grow, but the overall growth rate has continued to slow down. The accounts receivable scales of Qingdao, Jinan, and Weifang are relatively large, and the growth rates of Liaocheng and Dezhou are relatively fast [16][18] - **Financing**: In 2024, the net cash inflow from financing activities of Shandong's urban investment companies continued to decline. The net inflow scale was relatively large in regions with solid economic foundations and strong financial strength, such as Qingdao and Jinan. The financing cash flow of Weifang's urban investment companies has been in a net outflow for three consecutive years, and the net cash flow from the financing activities of Weihai's urban investment companies has turned negative since 2023 [20][23] - **Interest - Bearing Debt**: The debt scale of Shandong's urban investment companies has continued to grow, but the growth rate has slowed down. In 2024, the debt growth rates of Weifang and Rizhao were negative. The short - term debt proportion of most regions increased in 2024, except for some areas. The financing of urban investment companies still mainly relies on bank loans, and the proportion of other financing has fluctuated. In 2024, except for some regions, the proportion of other financing in most regions increased, and the financing structure needs further optimization [27][29][31] - **Debt Repayment Ability**: In 2024, the debt burden of Shandong's urban investment companies increased, and the cash - to - short - term - debt ratio further decreased. By the end of 2024, the total debt capitalization ratios of Zibo and Yantai were higher than the national average, and the cash - to - short - term - debt ratios of all regions in Shandong were lower than 0.60 times, indicating that urban investment companies still face relatively large pressure in debt repayment and liquidity [34][35] 3. Conclusion - **Achievements**: Shandong has used diversified means for debt resolution, achieving a slowdown in the growth rates of accounts receivable and debt scale of urban investment companies. The debt scale of Weifang's urban investment companies has decreased, and the debt structure has been optimized [38] - **Problems**: The overall debt burden of Shandong's urban investment companies is heavy, the proportion of short - term debt is high, and the financing structure needs further optimization. Negative public opinions in some cities have not been completely eliminated, and the regional financing environment needs improvement [38] - **Suggestions**: In the short term, the policies of "unified management of three types of debts" and "sinking all implicit debt replacement bonds to cities and counties" are helpful for alleviating liquidity pressure. In the long run, the key is to enhance the self - hematopoietic ability of urban investment companies and accelerate their substantial transformation [38]

Group 1: AI vs. Urban Investment Logic - The "AI faith" and "urban investment faith" share similarities in their foundational logic, emphasizing infrastructure development as a precursor to wealth generation[2] - Key leading indicators for urban investment include city planning area and total project investment, while for AI, they are the number of planned AI servers and data centers, and capital expenditure by major firms[2] - Concerns about AI giants like Nvidia stem from fears of potential overvaluation and competition from alternatives like Google's TPU[2] Group 2: Financial and Economic Implications - The "too big to fail" logic applies to both AI and urban investment, with significant interdependencies in the financial sector; as of November 25, 2025, the "Tech Seven" companies account for 33% of the S&P 500 and 48% of the Nasdaq Composite[2] - The financing logic in urban investment relies on future returns from infrastructure to repay debts, paralleling the substantial investments in AI infrastructure aimed at enhancing computational capabilities[2] - The success of AI is critical for national competitiveness, akin to the role of urban investment in China's rapid urbanization and industrialization[2] Group 3: Future Outlook and Risks - The ongoing debate on whether AI represents a bubble or a genuine faith will require time for resolution, with recent advancements like Google's Gemini 3 and TPU indicating ongoing technological evolution[2] - Risks include the potential for AI development to fall short of expectations, slower-than-anticipated penetration rates, and capital expenditures not meeting projections[2]

Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Guangxi has obvious resource endowment advantages but faces challenges such as lower - than - national - average GDP growth, a relatively heavy debt burden, and low urbanization rates. In 2024, the economy maintained growth with foreign trade as the main driver, and the government actively promoted debt resolution, achieving certain results [4]. - There are significant disparities in economic strength among prefecture - level cities in Guangxi. Nanning leads in economic development, population, and urbanization, while Liuzhou faced economic growth pressure in 2024. Most cities' comprehensive financial resources rely highly on superior subsidies due to the downturn in the real estate market [4][21]. - Guangxi's bond - issuing urban investment enterprises are mainly at the prefecture - level city level, with concentrated bonds in Liuzhou, Nanning, and provincial - level enterprises. In 2024, the debt term structure slightly improved, but short - term solvency was weak, and regional financing capabilities were polarized [4]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs I. Guangxi's Economic and Fiscal Strength 1. Guangxi's Regional Characteristics and Economic Development - Guangxi has rich natural resources and a unique strategic position. It is an important gateway for opening up to ASEAN and a core hub of the New Western Land - Sea Corridor. The modern three - dimensional transportation pattern is initially formed, and infrastructure construction will be further promoted in the "14th Five - Year Plan" and "15th Five - Year Plan" periods [5][6]. - In 2024, Guangxi's economic aggregate was at a medium - low level nationwide, with a lower - than - national - average GDP growth rate, a low - ranking per capita GDP, and a low urbanization rate. The industrial structure remained stable, and foreign trade was the main driver of economic growth.

Economic and Fiscal Conditions of Prefecture - Level Cities in Guangxi 1. Economic Strength of Prefecture - Level Cities in Guangxi - There are significant disparities in economic strength among prefecture - level cities in Guangxi. Nanning leads in GDP, population, and urbanization. Liuzhou's economic growth was under pressure in 2024. Most cities' per capita GDP is lower than the national average, and the proportion of the primary industry is generally high [21][25]. - The Beibu Gulf Economic Zone and the Xijiang Economic Belt have better industrial bases. Each city develops relevant industries based on its own resource advantages [23]. 2. Fiscal Strength and Debt Situations of Prefecture - Level Cities in Guangxi - Fiscal Revenues: General public budget revenues vary greatly among cities, with Nanning having the highest. Most cities' fiscal self - sufficiency is weak. Government - funded revenues of most cities decreased due to the real estate market downturn, and superior subsidies contribute significantly to the comprehensive financial resources of most cities [27][28][30]. - Debt Situations: In 2024, the government debt balance of Guangxi increased by 16.01% year - on - year, and the debt balances of all prefecture - level cities rose. Except for Guilin, the debt ratios of other cities increased, and the debt ratios of Liuzhou, Laibin, and Qinzhou exceeded 200% [33]. 3. Debt Management Policies and Measures - Since 2024, Guangxi has promoted local debt resolution through various means such as special refinancing bonds, financial institution support, and asset revitalization, achieving certain results.

Analysis of Debt Repayment Ability of Urban Investment Enterprises in Guangxi - At the end of 2024, the total debt of urban investment enterprises in Guangxi increased slightly, with relatively heavy debt burdens on provincial - level, Liuzhou, Guilin, and Hechi enterprises. The debt term structure slightly improved, but short - term solvency indicators were weak. Regional financing capabilities were polarized [45]. 4. Support and Guarantee Ability of Fiscal Revenues of Prefecture - Level Cities in Guangxi for the Debts of Bond - Issuing Urban Investment Enterprises - Limited by economic and fiscal strength, most prefecture - level cities in Guangxi have small bond - issuing scales for urban investment enterprises. The "total debt of bond - issuing urban investment enterprises + local government debt" in Nanning and Liuzhou is large, and in Liuzhou, this ratio to comprehensive financial resources is close to 800%, indicating high regional debt pressure [53].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Benefiting from the debt - resolution policy tilt towards key provinces, the release of special refinancing bonds and special new special bond quotas, and the orderly progress of debt - resolution measures such as debt extension, interest rate cuts, and replacement of financing platforms, the overall debt risk in Guizhou Province has been further mitigated. The debt scale of bond - issuing urban investment enterprises has continued to decline, and the financing structure has improved, but short - term solvency and liquidity still face significant pressure, and the net financing amount shows obvious regional differentiation. - In the short term, the debt resolution of bond - issuing urban investment enterprises in Guizhou Province still relies on the "combination punch" of debt - resolution policies to reduce debt risks, with obvious regional differentiation and greater difficulty in improving the financial fundamentals of tail - end regions. In the long run, urban investment enterprises need to "develop while resolving debts and resolve debts while developing", promoting high - quality economic development through optimizing the investment structure and expanding domestic demand to create conditions for debt resolution [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Guizhou Province's Debt Control Situation - In 2024, Guizhou's debt ratio continued to rise, with Guiyang, Zunyi, and Liupanshui exceeding the provincial average.

Most prefecture - level cities' government debt ratios exceeded 160%, and some cities' broad - sense government debt ratios were above the provincial average [6]. - In 2024, a series of debt - resolution policies were introduced. Guizhou received 352.8 billion yuan of the new local government debt quota from the central government for debt replacement, and 800 billion yuan was allocated annually from new local government special bonds for five years starting from 2024. From 2024 to September 2025, Guizhou issued 226.843 billion yuan of special refinancing bonds and 64.99 billion yuan of special new special bonds [8]. - The provincial and local governments actively promoted debt - resolution work. Various cities and counties achieved certain results, such as some areas changing their debt risk levels and reducing debt ratios [9][10][11]. 3.2 Changes in Financial Indicators of Urban Investment Enterprises in Guizhou Province Investment - From 2024 to the first half of 2025, the investment growth of Guizhou's urban investment enterprises further slowed down, and the investment structure continued to be adjusted, but the proportion of urban - construction assets was still much higher than the national average. The investment scale of provincial - level and Guiyang's urban investment enterprises increased, and most prefecture - level cities still mainly invested in urban - construction assets, while Anshun and Tongren had relatively high proportions of self - operated assets, equity, and fund - type investments [12][13]. - From 2022 to the end of June 2025, the overall investment scale of urban investment enterprises continued to grow, but the growth rate slowed down from 2.29% at the end of 2022 to 0.11% at the end of June 2025.

Solvency - At the end of June 2025, the overall debt ratio of Guizhou's urban investment enterprises decreased, but the cash - to - short - term - debt ratio dropped to a low level. Regionally, Tongren's debt ratio was high, and Zunyi, Bijie, and Anshun faced great short - term solvency pressure [35]. - From 2022 - June 2025, the overall asset - liability ratio increased, the total debt capitalization ratio decreased, and the cash - to - short - term - debt ratio fluctuated and decreased to 0.24 times.

The overall debt risk has been mitigated due to policy support. - The debt scale of bond - issuing urban investment enterprises has decreased, and the financing structure has improved, but there are still problems such as high short - term solvency pressure, unoptimized financing structure in some regions, obvious regional differentiation in net financing, and slow investment growth. - In the short term, debt - resolution relies on policies, and in the long term, urban investment enterprises need to promote economic development to resolve debts [37][39].

Core Viewpoint - The collective divestment of government financing functions by 56 "quasi-platform" companies in Guizhou marks a significant shift in local financing practices, reflecting broader national efforts to address hidden local government debt and promote market-oriented reforms [1][3][6]. Group 1: Background and Context - Over 2,000 financing platform companies nationwide have completed market-oriented transformations, with Guizhou's adjustment being part of this nationwide restructuring [3]. - "Quasi-platform" companies, while not officially designated as government financing platforms, have effectively performed government financing roles, contributing to the accumulation of hidden local government debt [3][4]. - Guizhou's government debt rate is among the highest in the country, with some localities exceeding a 300% warning line, highlighting the urgency of the transformation [3][4]. Group 2: Implications of the Transformation - The transformation will lead to a loss of government credit backing for these companies, resulting in increased financing costs, with bond issuance rates expected to rise by 100-150 basis points [4][6]. - The existing debt burden for these 56 companies exceeds 80 billion yuan, necessitating renegotiation of repayment sources [4][6]. - Companies face significant challenges in transitioning their business models, as many rely heavily on government contracts for revenue [4][6]. Group 3: Pathways for Successful Transformation - Successful transformation requires overcoming three key challenges: restructuring governance, creating sustainable cash flows, and transitioning talent from government-focused to market-oriented operations [6][7]. - Companies must establish modern corporate governance structures and reduce reliance on government funding to develop viable profit models [6][7]. - The transformation process is expected to lead to a significant consolidation in the sector, with an estimated 15-20% of companies facing mergers or closures in the next three years [6][7]. Group 4: Broader Policy Implications - The transformation of these companies is part of a larger policy initiative aimed at mitigating local government debt risks and promoting fiscal and state-owned enterprise reforms [6][7]. - The shift aims to reduce direct government intervention in microeconomic activities, allowing the market to play a decisive role in resource allocation [7][9]. - The transition is seen as a necessary step towards achieving high-quality economic development, despite the inevitable challenges and adjustments involved [9].

Core Viewpoints - In 2025 from January to September, the number of consecutive overdue occurrences of bonds - issuing urban investment entities' bills increased significantly year - on - year, while the number of entities with consecutive bill overdue decreased year - on - year. High - frequency overdue enterprises became the main risk source. AA - rated and district - county - level platforms remained the main overdue groups, and the risk differentiation effect of administrative levels and credit ratings was further strengthened. Risks were mainly concentrated in Shandong, Yunnan, Henan, Guizhou and other provinces. Entities with consecutive bill overdue faced relatively large short - term concentrated debt repayment pressure, and attention should be paid to the cross - variety risk spread caused by credit risk transmission [2][22]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Overview of Urban Investment Entities' Bill Overdue - **Change in the number of bonds - issuing urban investment entities with consecutive bill overdue**: From January to September 2025, bonds - issuing urban investment entities were included in the list of consecutive bill overdue 508 times, a year - on - year increase of 38.04%, involving 65 entities, a year - on - year decrease of 4.41%.

These entities faced relatively large short - term concentrated debt repayment pressure. Some entities had non - standard financing defaults, and attention should be paid to the cross - variety risk spread [15][21].

Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the substantial default of targeted financing products issued by two urban investment companies in Chengwu County, Shandong Province, which has raised concerns among investors regarding the repayment of interest and principal [1][5]. Group 1: Default Details - Investors reported that the targeted financing products issued by Chengwu Gaocheng Urban Construction Investment Co., Ltd. have faced difficulties in interest payments since September 2025, with one investor stating that their investment of 1 million yuan was due in October 2025 but has not received any payments [6]. - Chengwu Wenting Urban Construction Investment Co., Ltd. has also been linked to a series of defaulted projects since March 2025, yet these issues have not been prioritized for resolution by the provincial government [6][12]. Group 2: Company Transparency Issues - Chengwu Gaocheng was established in October 2019 with a registered capital of 100 million yuan, controlled by the Chengwu County Finance Bureau, but reported zero insured employees in 2024, raising concerns about its operational transparency [9]. - Chengwu Wenting, founded in 2012, also reported zero insured employees from 2016 to 2019, and despite showing 19 employees in 2024, its business scope and financial scale appear mismatched [9][10]. Group 3: Broader Financial Risks - As of October 31, 2025, Chengwu Wenting's subsidiary had overdue bills totaling 16.39 million yuan, indicating a broader risk of financial contagion within the region [12]. - The complexity of financing chains, including the issuance of targeted financing products through shell companies, has been noted as a common practice in certain counties in Shandong, leading to increased risk exposure [12]. - The provincial government's debt resolution plan has favored key areas, leaving Chengwu County without prioritized support, exacerbating the slow arrival of debt resolution funds [12].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The number of overdue bills of bond - issuing urban investment enterprises increased rapidly and then fluctuated after the introduction of the "package debt - resolution plan", and has been generally stable since November 2024. District - county - level entities among overdue enterprises account for a high proportion and are concentrated in Shandong, Henan, and Guizhou. The regions with concentrated overdue bills have weak regional fiscal self - sufficiency, heavy local government debt burdens, and large broad - based debt repayment pressures. In addition, restrictions on new bond financing and changes in financial indicators of urban investment enterprises in recent years are also reasons for bill overdue. The median net financing of urban investment enterprises that first had bill overdue from January to August 2025 increased in the year before the bill overdue, possibly related to the "targeted support" of local governments and financial institutions under the "package debt - resolution plan". Bill overdue has a negative impact on enterprise credit, financing ability, and the regional financial market. Urban investment enterprises should pay attention to policy impacts, improve liquidity management, and enhance their self - hematopoietic ability [2]. - Bills are an early warning signal of enterprise credit risk, reflecting the lack of enterprise liquidity to some extent and being a leading indicator of enterprise bond default risk. This report tracks, observes, and analyzes the performance, causes, and impacts of bill overdue of urban investment enterprises under the background of the "package debt - resolution plan" and proposes corresponding countermeasures and suggestions [4]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Overview of Bill Overdue of Urban Investment Enterprises - From November 2021 to August 2025, the number of bond - issuing urban investment enterprises on the list of continuous bill overdue increased fluctuantly. The credit quality of these enterprises is generally average, with AA - rated enterprises accounting for nearly 70%. District - county - level entities among overdue enterprises account for a high proportion. There are 19 provinces involved in bill overdue risks, with more enterprises in Shandong, Henan, and Guizhou. Since 2025, the number of such enterprises has generally stabilized, possibly related to the reduced debt - resolution pressure of urban investment enterprises under the "package debt - resolution plan" [5]. - The Shanghai Commercial Paper Exchange started to release the "List of Continuous Overdue Commercial Bills" monthly since August 2021. The statistical criteria for the continuous overdue list are: since August 2021, acceptors who have had more than 3 payment overdue within 6 months from the cut - off date of the list disclosure, and have an overdue balance at the end of the month or have payment overdue in the current month [5]. - From November 2021 to August 2025, the number of bond - issuing urban investment enterprises with continuous bill overdue as commercial bill acceptors showed a fluctuating growth trend. From August to October 2023, the number of such enterprises increased rapidly, possibly related to restricted new financing and increased short - term debt repayment pressure. From November 2023 to the end of 2024, the number increased slightly with fluctuations. Since 2025, the number has generally stabilized. During this period, bond - issuing urban investment enterprises were included in the bill continuous overdue list 1362 times, involving 155 enterprises [7][8]. - In terms of credit rating, bill - overdue bond - issuing urban investment enterprises are mainly AA - rated, accounting for 67.74% (105 enterprises), followed by AA + - rated enterprises, accounting for 22.58% [12]. - In terms of administrative level, district - county - level platforms among bill - overdue urban investment enterprises account for a high proportion, and there are no provincial - level platforms. There are 91 district - county - level platforms (accounting for 58.71%), 44 municipal - level platforms (accounting for 28.39%), 6 provincial - level park platforms, 6 national - level development zone platforms, 3 national - level high - tech zone platforms, and 5 national - level new area platforms [14]. - In terms of geographical distribution, there are 19 provinces involved in bill overdue risks, including Shandong, Henan, and Guizhou. Shandong has the largest number of bill - overdue bond - issuing urban investment enterprises, reaching 56 (accounting for 36.13%), followed by Henan with 18 and Guizhou with 15 [18]. 3.2 Analysis of the Causes of Bill Overdue of Urban Investment Enterprises 3.2.1 External Factors - **Regional Fiscal and Debt Burden**: In the regions where bill - overdue bond - issuing urban investment enterprises are concentrated, except for Qingdao and Zibo, the fiscal self - sufficiency of other regions is lower than the national average. Most of the cities with a high risk of bill overdue of bond - issuing urban investment enterprises in 2024 had a growth rate of general public budget revenue lower than the national average (0.9%), and the fiscal self - sufficiency rate of most cities was lower than the national average (71.22%). Affected by the sluggish land market in 2024, the government fund revenue in some regions with a high incidence of bill overdue showed a significant downward trend, further increasing the debt repayment pressure of urban investment enterprises in these regions [23][24]. - In 2024, due to factors such as the government's replacement of stock implicit debt under the "package debt - resolution plan", the local government debt balance of cities with a high risk of bill overdue of bond - issuing urban investment enterprises increased year - on - year. These cities have relatively heavy local government debt burdens and large broad - based debt repayment pressures. The government debt ratio of these cities is higher than 150%, and the broad - based debt ratio (including the interest - bearing debt of local urban investment enterprises) of most cities is higher than 400%. The non - standard financing ratio of some cities decreased in 2024, which may be related to the debt replacement policy [27]. - **Other Possible Factors**: In recent years, regulatory authorities and financial institutions have tightened new financing for urban investment enterprises, increasing their financing difficulty. Since bond repayment has strong rigidity, for urban investment enterprises, the risk of bond default is much greater than that of bill overdue. Coupled with the lack of professional debt coordination ability in some regions and the lack of attention to bill repayment management, the repayment priority of bills is relatively low, leading to bill overdue of some bond - issuing urban investment enterprises [30]. 3.2.2 Enterprise Self - factors - **Payable Amount Scale**: The relative scale of accounts payable and notes payable of bill - overdue urban investment enterprises is generally higher than the industry median level, and the relative scale of notes payable fluctuates greatly [32][33]. - **Debt Structure**: The proportion of short - term debt of bill - overdue urban investment enterprises has increased rapidly, and the proportion of short - term debt in the year before the first bill overdue is significantly higher than the industry median level [34]. - **Asset Structure**: The median increase in the proportion of funds occupied by business operations of bill - overdue urban investment enterprises is higher than the industry median increase [39]. - **Short - term Debt Repayment Ability and Fund Raising**: The coverage of cash - like assets to short - term debt of bill - overdue urban investment enterprises is significantly lower than the industry median level. From 2022 to 2024, the median net financing of bill - overdue urban investment enterprises decreased rapidly in the year before the bill overdue, significantly lower than the industry median level. In 2025, the median net financing of bill - overdue urban investment enterprises in the year before the bill overdue increased against the trend, possibly related to the "targeted support" of local governments and financial institutions [40][41]. - **Financing Channels and Costs**: From 2022 to 2024, the proportion of non - standard financing in the total debt of bill - overdue urban investment enterprises is generally higher than the industry median level and fluctuates greatly. The financing cost of bill - overdue urban investment enterprises in the three years before the bill overdue is generally higher than the industry median level [42][43]. 3.3 Impact of Bill Overdue of Urban Investment Enterprises and Countermeasure Suggestions - **Impact**: Bill overdue has a negative impact on enterprise credit, financing ability, and the regional financial market. It will damage the credit of urban investment enterprises, lead to financing difficulties and increased capital costs, and may also trigger legal disputes. It may also cause market concerns about the credit risk of urban investment enterprises in the region, affecting market confidence and leading to tight liquidity in the regional financial market [46]. - **Countermeasure Suggestions**: Urban investment enterprises need to shift from "passively relying on policies" to "actively enhancing resilience". They should strengthen asset liquidity management and improve short - term debt repayment ability through asset revitalization, accounts receivable collection, and optimized fund scheduling. They should also gradually reduce their dependence on government resources, transform from "platform - type" to "operation - type", and cultivate sustainable operating cash flow through refined operations to improve profitability and self - debt - repayment ability [47][48]. 3.4 Summary and Outlook - **Summary**: Although the proportion of notes payable in the interest - bearing debt of urban investment enterprises is low, bill overdue can be an early warning signal, indicating that the enterprise has certain liquidity tension, which may lead to other credit risk events. Since July 2023, after the introduction of the "package debt - resolution plan", the number of bill - overdue bond - issuing urban investment enterprises increased rapidly and then fluctuated. Since November 2024, the number has generally stabilized. District - county - level platforms among overdue enterprises account for a high proportion, and are concentrated in Shandong, Henan, and Guizhou. Bill overdue not only damages the enterprise's own credit and financing ability but may also cause a chain reaction in the regional financial market [49]. - **Outlook**: In 2026, the short - term risk mitigation expectation of urban investment enterprises is clear, but the debt repayment ability of most urban investment enterprises has not been substantially improved, and the operating cash flow has insufficient support for bill repayment. Some urban investment enterprises still have relatively heavy debt burdens, a high proportion of short - term debt, weak financing ability, and high financing costs. Therefore, the phenomenon of continuous bill overdue will still exist in some regions. Urban investment enterprises should pay attention to bill, debt, and public opinion management, strengthen credit management and maintenance, and actively transform into industries that enhance their self - hematopoietic ability [50].
