1. Report's Industry Investment Rating - No information provided regarding the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - As the "package debt resolution" continues, Inner Mongolia and Jilin officially announced their exit from the key debt - resolution provinces in 2025. After the exit, the net financing scale of urban investment bonds in both regions increased, and Inner Mongolia further reduced its bond - issuing cost. The fixed - asset investment growth targets of the two regions in 2026 were significantly raised compared to the actual values of the previous year. However, the substantial improvement of investment and financing remains to be seen, and it will take time to rebuild the market's confidence in regional credit repair. There is still a wait - and - see attitude in the short term [1][9]. - Among the remaining 10 key provinces, Qinghai has met the criteria and clearly proposed a plan to exit in 2026, likely to be the next to officially exit. Heilongjiang, Ningxia, Liaoning, and Gansu are close to meeting the criteria and may follow. Guangxi partially meets the criteria, and its exit order may be in the third echelon. Tianjin, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Chongqing still have a large gap from the exit requirements [9][10]. 3. Summary of Each Section 3.1 10 Key Regions' Latest Estimation of "Exiting the List" Eligibility and Order Prediction 3.1.1 Key Provinces with Implicit Debt Ratio Below the Average of the Top 8 Non - Key Provinces - As of the end of 2024, excluding Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong which have achieved zero implicit debt, the average implicit debt ratio of the 8 non - key provinces with higher implicit debt ratios among the remaining 18 non - key provinces was 46.89%. Key regions with an implicit debt ratio lower than this value include Qinghai (17.15%), Heilongjiang (25.66%), Guangxi (34.81%), Ningxia (37.84%), and Gansu (45.11%) [5][12]. 3.1.2 Key Provinces with Financial Debt to GDP Ratio Below 10% - Using "the semi - annual interest - bearing debt scale in 2025 / the proportion of the semi - annual interest - bearing debt scale in 2024 to the whole - year scale" to estimate the 2025 whole - year financial debt scale and the GDP data from local government work reports in 2025, the key provinces that meet the "financial debt / GDP not greater than 10%" criterion include Liaoning (2.73%), Heilongjiang (3.21%), and Qinghai (5.54%). Ningxia (14.19%) is close to the criterion, and it submitted an application to exit the key provinces at the end of the first quarter of last year [5][14]. 3.1.3 Key Provinces with Publicly Disclosed Platform Exit Progress Exceeding 75% - Liaoning (85.2%), Gansu (81.3%), and Ningxia (reached 76% at the end of 2024) have a high reduction ratio and meet the condition of an exit progress exceeding 75%. Tianjin's platform exit progress has also reached the standard. In 2025, 53 new financing platforms exited in Tianjin, and together with the 75 platforms that had exited in 2024, a total of 128 platforms exited. Calculated according to the largest statistical caliber of 144 financing platforms in Tianjin's history, the platform exit progress has reached the standard [16][17]. 3.1.4 Prediction of the Order of Key Provinces' Exit from the List - **Provinces that have met the conditions and clearly proposed an exit plan**: Qinghai has met the exit conditions for implicit debt ratio and financial debt / GDP and clearly stated in the government work report that one of the key tasks in 2026 is to "ensure the exit from the key provincial list of local debts", so it is likely to be the next to officially exit [3][19]. - **Provinces close to meeting the exit criteria**: Heilongjiang has met the criteria for implicit debt ratio and financial debt / GDP, but its platform exit progress is not disclosed. Ningxia has met the criteria for implicit debt ratio and platform exit progress, and its financial debt / GDP is close to the standard. Liaoning has met the criteria for financial debt / GDP and platform exit progress, but its implicit debt ratio has not reached the standard. Gansu has met the criteria for implicit debt ratio and platform exit progress, but its financial debt / GDP has not reached the standard. These four regions are close to meeting the exit criteria and may exit in the second echelon [8][20]. - **Provinces that partially meet the exit criteria**: Guangxi's implicit debt ratio has reached the standard, but its financial debt / GDP is far from the standard, and the platform exit progress is not disclosed. It is expected to be in the third echelon of the exit order [8][22]. - **Provinces still far from the exit criteria**: Tianjin, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Chongqing have relatively high implicit debt ratios (between 53% - 103%) and financial debt / GDP ratios (between 39% - 60%) among all provinces and have not met the standards. Except for Tianjin with a relatively fast platform exit progress, the platform exit progress in other regions is not disclosed. Overall, these four regions still have a long way to go to meet the exit requirements [8][22]. 3.2 Tracking of Inner Mongolia and Jilin after "Exiting the List" 3.2.1 Relaxation of Financing Control, Improvement of Net Urban Investment Bond Financing without Breaking New - added Financing Constraints - After exiting the key provinces, relevant restrictions on financing platforms were relaxed. In 2025, Inner Mongolia's urban investment bond issuance and net financing scale increased against the trend, and the issuance cost decreased. However, it still did not break through new - added financing constraints. Jilin's urban investment bond financing improved after exiting the list, but there was no new - added project financing other than a small amount of project - construction - type new - added bonds for urban rail transit [26]. 3.2.2 Loosening of Government Investment Project Approval, Significant Increase in the 2026 Fixed - Asset Investment Growth Target - After "exiting the list", the administrative restrictions on government investment project approval were reduced, which is expected to inject new impetus into regional economic development. Inner Mongolia's 2026 fixed - asset investment growth target decreased slightly from 10% to 8% and was still among the highest in the country, significantly higher than the actual growth rate of 4% in 2025. Jilin's 2026 fixed - asset investment growth target was set at 3%, showing a significant improvement compared to - 13.1% in 2025. The number of major projects and the target of completed investment in both regions continued to grow [30][31]. 3.2.3 Improvement of the Credit Environment but Market Wait - and - See Attitude, Continuous Efforts Needed for Regional Credit Repair - "Exiting the list" is an important signal of regional debt risk mitigation and the relaxation of investment and financing policies. In the long run, the local credit environment may gradually improve. However, it takes time to rebuild market confidence, and there is still a wait - and - see attitude in the short term. The secondary - market performance of urban investment bonds in the two regions did not show obvious improvement after "exiting the list" [34][35]. 3.2.4 Debt Risks Not Completely Eliminated, Debt Resolution and Urban Investment Transformation Remain Core Tasks - "Exiting the list" only means that the overall provincial debt risk has been reduced to a controllable range, but the risks at the city, county, and district levels have not been completely resolved. The tasks of zeroing out implicit debts and reducing the operating debt risks of urban investment enterprises are still arduous. Urban investment enterprises need to seize the opportunity of regional "exiting the list" to transform and develop and enhance their self - hematopoietic ability [35][37].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Since 2024, Jiangsu Province has made significant phased achievements in debt reduction, including large - scale clearance of financing platforms, zeroing out of implicit debts in many places, significant cost reduction, and innovation in building a debt management system, providing a replicable "Jiangsu Plan" for national local government debt risk prevention and control [4] - The central government's deployment in 2026 signals an overall expansion of the debt reduction scope, a shift in governance logic towards marketization and long - term effectiveness, and an acceleration of platform transformation. Jiangsu's debt risk prevention and resolution work is transitioning from phased "attack and zero - clearing" to normalized "long - term governance" [10] - While Jiangsu has achieved remarkable results in debt reduction, it still faces deep - seated problems such as the need to refine post - clearance management of financing platforms, strengthen the control of new implicit debt sources, improve the efficiency of non - operating asset revitalization, and pay attention to the market risks in the transformation of urban investment enterprises and the construction of long - term debt management mechanisms [16] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Jiangsu Province's Debt Reduction Achievements - **Policy implementation and quota acquisition**: Jiangsu strictly implemented the "6 + 4+ 2" incremental debt reduction measures, obtaining an implicit debt replacement quota of 753.3 billion yuan, accounting for 12.56% of the national total, ranking first in the country. Many places achieved significant results in implicit debt reduction, such as Xuzhou achieving zero implicit debt in 2024 and Lianyungang's implicit debt balance decreasing by 31.5% in 2025 compared to 2024 [4] - **Cost reduction and platform clearance**: Through measures such as bank loan replacement of high - interest non - standard debts and expansion of government - supported financing guarantee coverage, the comprehensive financing cost was continuously reduced. As of January 2026, 984 financing platforms had been withdrawn in the province, with over 300 withdrawn in 2025 alone, leading the country [5] - **Asset inventory and platform transformation**: A comprehensive inventory of state - owned assets was carried out, with assets of 488 trillion yuan inventoried and earnings of 115 billion yuan obtained. Various forms were adopted to promote the market - oriented transformation of urban investment enterprises and enhance their self - hematopoietic function [5] - **System innovation and mechanism improvement**: Jiangsu built a "1315" debt management system, implemented closed - loop management of debt "borrowing, use, management, and repayment", and promoted "one - policy - for - one - household" precise governance, providing a solid institutional support for debt reduction [6] 2. Next - Stage Work Priorities - **Addressing operating debt risks and promoting market - oriented transformation**: Jiangsu has formed a full - scale debt reduction plan covering government debts, implicit debts, and operating debts of financing platforms since 2024. In the next stage, urban investment enterprises will take on more functions related to investment promotion and industrial development, and use market - based financing tools to revitalize assets and achieve market - oriented transformation [11] - **Building a long - term government debt management mechanism and strengthening source control**: In 2026, debt reduction work will focus on mechanism improvement and source control, shifting from scale reduction to structure optimization and from phased tasks to normalized system building. The 13 cities in Jiangsu have different work focuses in line with regional characteristics [12][15] 3. Key Areas of Future Attention - Although Jiangsu has achieved significant results in debt reduction, it still needs to address deep - seated issues such as the follow - up management of assets, debts, and personnel after the clearance of financing platforms, strict control of new implicit debts, improvement of non - operating asset revitalization efficiency, and attention to market risks in the transformation of urban investment enterprises and the construction of long - term debt management mechanisms [16]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report In 2025, the policy framework of the urban investment industry continued the core orientation of "promoting high - quality development under the premise of risk controllability", with significant policy continuity and stability. The "control of new implicit debts and orderly resolution of existing debts" and "empowering local economic development and cultivating market - oriented operation capabilities" formed a synergistic closed - loop of "risk mitigation" and "development empowerment". The policy system showed two key evolution directions: the "standard upgrade" of debt management and the "deep implementation" of enterprise transformation, forcing urban investment platforms to transform into market - oriented and professional industrial investment operation entities [3]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Overall Debt Resolution - In 2025, the issuance of bonds corresponding to the "6 + 4" debt resolution funds was characterized by an earlier schedule and optimized structure. The total amount of local debt resolution bonds issued was 3.68 trillion yuan, accounting for 35.73% of the total local bond issuance, including 2.41 trillion yuan of special refinancing bonds and 1.37 trillion yuan of special new special bonds. 90% of the 2 - trillion - yuan bonds for replacing implicit debts were issued in the first half of the year. The annual 800 - billion - yuan quota of new special bonds for debt resolution was also steadily implemented, and the issuance rhythm of debt resolution bonds was significantly advanced. - In terms of structure, local government bond funds were precisely focused on replacing high - interest existing implicit debts and resolving debts of existing projects. Among the 500 - billion - yuan debt balance limit added by the Ministry of Finance in the fourth quarter, 300 billion yuan was specially used for resolving debts of existing government investment projects and paying off arrears to enterprises. The issuance regions were tilted towards provinces with prominent debt resolution pressure and strong economic foundations, and the proportion of debt resolution funds to local bond issuance in some provinces exceeded 40% or even 50% [4]. 3.2 Strict Supervision - The governance of local government debt followed a progressive logic of "policy setting - strengthened supervision - institutional innovation - in - depth implementation". The "Government Work Report" in March 2025 set the core goal of "steadily resolving local government debt risks", clarified the principle of "resolving debts in development and developing in debt resolution", and proposed key measures such as improving and implementing a package of debt resolution plans, optimizing assessment and control measures, dynamically adjusting the list of high - risk debt regions, and supporting the opening of new investment spaces. - In April and August 2025, the Ministry of Finance publicly announced 12 typical cases of accountability for local government implicit debts in two batches, releasing a strong signal of "strictly controlling new implicit debts". - In November 2025, the Ministry of Finance officially established the Debt Management Department, marking the transition from a decentralized management pattern to a centralized and coordinated new stage of "unified management of national bonds, local government legal debts, and implicit debts". - In December 2025, the Central Economic Work Conference and the 19th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress further deepened the policy orientation, emphasizing active debt resolution and the construction of a long - term debt governance mechanism [5][7]. 3.3 Differentiation of Negative Public Opinions in the Urban Investment Industry - In 2025, negative public opinions in the urban investment industry tended to differentiate. Although the number of new enterprises on the continuous bill overdue list and those with first - time non - standard product default decreased significantly, the number of enterprises with multiple historical bill overdues increased. The situation showed a pattern of convergence in new cases and regional differentiation in existing cases. - Urban investment enterprises generally showed the characteristic of "increasing revenue but not increasing profits", with a significant decline in net profit scale compared to 2021 and a deeper dependence on government subsidies in the profit structure. The long - term fundamental improvement of their refinancing still required a period of adjustment and repair. Core issues such as the scale of existing operating debts, interest payment pressure, and government - occupied funds still needed continuous attention [8]. 3.4 Exit from Key Regions and Financing Platforms - In terms of exiting high - risk debt regions, in 2025, the "Document No. 99" provided clear operation guidelines, and the "Government Work Report" in March emphasized dynamic management. Some provinces such as Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, and Jilin completed their established debt resolution tasks, with Inner Mongolia being the first to officially exit the high - risk province list. - Regarding the exit of financing platforms, by the end of September 2025, the number of national financing platforms and the scale of existing operating financial debts decreased by 71% and 62% respectively compared to March 2023. Different regions adopted different strategies, with some setting clear exit goals and others promoting the transformation of urban investment platforms through asset restructuring, business separation, and functional reshaping [9][10]. 3.5 Restart of Land Reserve Special Bonds - In 2025, land reserve special bonds were restarted. Relevant policies in 2024 and 2025 provided a basis for their issuance. Throughout 2025, more than 5,500 parcels of idle land were planned to be acquired using special bonds, with a total land value of over 750 billion yuan, and more than 300 billion yuan of corresponding special bonds were issued, accounting for about 40% of the planned acquisition scale. - The issuance rhythm accelerated in the fourth quarter, with the monthly average issuance increasing by 13.6% compared to the third quarter. Most of the land to be acquired belonged to local state - owned enterprises, and the funds were mainly used to repurchase the existing land of urban investment enterprises, helping them盘活 assets, recover funds, and resolve debts [11]. 3.6 Activation of "Three Resources" - In 2025, there was a period of intensive policy implementation in the field of activating existing urban investment assets. The core policy framework was supported by "expanding the scope, promoting the market, and strengthening support", forming a full - chain policy system. - The expansion of asset scope was a key breakthrough. Policies in May and November 2025 expanded the scope of asset activation in the urban renewal field and the project scope of infrastructure REITs. - The policy also promoted the market - oriented transformation of existing asset activation and provided direct policy support for the activation of existing PPP projects. - At the local level, many provinces and cities issued relevant policies to promote the activation of "three resources", which not only broadened the boundaries of asset activation but also promoted the transformation of urban investment enterprises [12][13][15]. 3.7 Accelerated Transformation - In 2025, multiple policies at the national and local levels promoted the transformation of the urban investment industry from "risk control" to "new system construction", with "transformation empowerment + financing relaxation" as the dual - wheel drive. - Policies in April, May, August, and November 2025 provided guidance for the market - oriented development of urban investment enterprises in different fields. Local policies in Henan, Sichuan, and Guangdong also supported the transformation of urban investment enterprises. - In terms of financing support, policies in January, May, and December 2025 provided favorable conditions for urban investment enterprises to expand financing channels and optimize debt structures [16]. 3.8 Central Urban Work Conference - The 2025 Central Urban Work Conference put forward the "two shifts", indicating that China's urbanization was moving from a rapid growth period to a stable development period and urban development was shifting from large - scale incremental expansion to stock quality improvement and efficiency increase. - The "1 + N" supporting policy system was established, redefining the development orientation of the urban investment industry from a traditional "financing and construction platform" to a "comprehensive urban service provider and operator", which required a reconstruction of the core business model [18]. 3.9 Deepening of State - owned Assets and State - owned Enterprises Reform - In 2025, a new round of state - owned assets and state - owned enterprises reform was launched, aiming to "strengthen functions and improve competitiveness" and promote the transformation of urban investment platforms into market - oriented and industrialized urban comprehensive service and state - owned capital operation entities. - Key documents in October, December, and December 22 - 23, 2025, clarified the reform points and goals, which would accelerate the market - oriented and industrialized transformation of the urban investment industry [19]. 3.10 Standardized Utilization of Data Resources - The state has established a multi - level policy system for the whole - process of data resources of urban investment enterprises, including accounting treatment, development and utilization models, and registration management. - Policies in 2023, 2024, and 2025 provided clear guidelines. The policy promoted the transformation of urban investment enterprises from "heavy - asset infrastructure construction" to "light - asset data operation", but attention should be paid to the "pseudo - transformation" phenomenon [21][22].
