1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2026, China's fiscal policy will balance short - term stimulus and long - term stability, focusing on both "activeness" and "sustainability", and shifting from "leveraging up" to "optimizing leverage". The fiscal situation will feature low revenue growth and rigid expenditure, with the revenue side facing challenges such as tax structure imbalance and weak non - tax revenue sustainability, while the expenditure side will see increased intensity in key areas and face issues like low - efficiency capital use and debt - servicing pressure [24][27][49]. - To address these challenges, the fiscal policy in 2026 should focus on boosting domestic demand, supporting infrastructure investment, fostering new - quality productivity, and promoting reform. Specific measures include expanding the expenditure scale, optimizing the expenditure structure, strengthening fiscal - financial coordination, improving transfer payment efficiency, deepening tax system reform, expanding zero - based budget reform pilots, and establishing a government asset - liability table for debt management [39][40][49]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 2025 Fiscal Operation Review Fiscal Operation Overview - Revenue: Generalized fiscal revenue declined for two consecutive years, falling short of the budget target by 860 billion yuan. General public budget revenue was 21.60 trillion yuan, a 1.7% year - on - year decrease, and government fund budget revenue was 5.77 trillion yuan, a 7.0% year - on - year decrease [8]. - Expenditure: Generalized fiscal expenditure increased slightly year - on - year but was 2.16 trillion yuan less than the budget target. General public budget expenditure was 28.74 trillion yuan, a 1.0% year - on - year increase, and government fund budget expenditure was 11.29 trillion yuan, an 11.3% year - on - year increase [9]. - Revenue - Expenditure Gap: The gap between actual generalized fiscal revenue and expenditure reached 12.65 trillion yuan, an increase of 1.3 trillion yuan from the previous year. Government bond issuance reached a record high, with national debt issuance at 16.01 trillion yuan and local government bond issuance at 10.31 trillion yuan [11]. Structural Characteristics of Fiscal Operation - Tax and Non - tax Revenue: Tax revenue increased by 0.8% year - on - year, with the four major taxes all showing positive growth. Non - tax revenue decreased by 11.3% year - on - year. The proportion of tax revenue in general public budget revenue rose to 81.6% [15]. - Livelihood and Infrastructure Expenditure: Livelihood expenditure remained a priority, with the combined expenditure on social security, employment, education, and health exceeding 10 trillion yuan, and the proportion increasing to 38.0%. Infrastructure - related expenditure decreased by 6.6% year - on - year, and its proportion dropped to 21.6%. Science and technology expenditure grew by 4.8% year - on - year, and debt - servicing pressure continued to increase [18][19]. - Central and Local Fiscal Expenditure: Central fiscal expenditure increased significantly, with the central government's generalized fiscal expenditure growing at 19.0%, much higher than the local government's 1.6%. The central government's government fund budget expenditure grew at 130%, far higher than the local government's 5.3%. The proportion of local fiscal expenditure in GDP decreased to 24.7% [21]. Fiscal Situation and Revenue - Expenditure Forecast for the "15th Five - Year Plan" Opening Year Fiscal Situation in 2026 - Revenue: Revenue will continue to grow at a low rate and show structural differentiation, with an increased reliance on debt funds. Tax structure imbalance remains prominent, non - tax revenue has weak sustainability, and government fund revenue is dragged down by land finance [25][26]. - Expenditure: Expenditure rigidity will increase, with key areas receiving more support. However, challenges such as low - efficiency capital use and debt - servicing pressure need to be addressed [27]. Revenue - Expenditure Growth Rate Forecast for 2026 - General Public Budget: Revenue may grow by about 0.5%, and expenditure may grow by about 2.6% [28][30]. - Government Fund Budget: Revenue decline may narrow to 5.9%, and expenditure may be roughly the same as in 2025, with a possibility of issuing additional government bonds during the year [34][35]. - Generalized Fiscal Revenue and Expenditure: Generalized fiscal revenue may decline by 0.84% year - on - year, and expenditure may grow by 1.55% year - on - year. The revenue - expenditure gap is expected to expand by over 800 billion yuan [37]. Core Demand Points for Fiscal Policy in 2026 - Boosting Micro - entity Confidence and Expanding Domestic Demand: Insufficient effective demand is the main contradiction. Fiscal policy should increase leverage, especially through the central government, and optimize the expenditure structure [40]. - Supporting Infrastructure Investment: In 2025, the expansion of generalized fiscal expenditure did not significantly improve investment. In 2026, fiscal expenditure should be expanded to create incremental demand and adjust the economic structure to support infrastructure investment [41]. - Fostering New - quality Productivity: China is in a critical period of new - old kinetic energy transformation. Fiscal policy should support the cultivation of new - quality productivity to make up for market failures and ensure key expenditures [46]. - Promoting Reform: Fiscal policy is essential for various reforms, such as income distribution, the construction of a unified national market, and the adjustment of central - local relations [47][48]. Fiscal Policy Outlook and Seven Key Measures in 2026 - Expand the Expenditure Scale and Act in Advance: The budget deficit rate is recommended to be 4% or above, with the central government taking the main responsibility. 5 trillion yuan of new special bonds and 1.8 trillion yuan of special treasury bonds should be issued. The generalized deficit may reach about 15 trillion yuan, an increase of over 1 trillion yuan from the previous year. The pace of fiscal expenditure and government bond issuance and use should be accelerated [53][55][56]. - Optimize the Expenditure Structure: Combine investment in physical assets and in people. Increase livelihood security expenditure, boost consumption, support infrastructure investment, and increase investment in new - quality productivity and the low - carbon economy. Special bonds should be optimized and their investment areas expanded [60]. - Strengthen Fiscal - Financial Coordination: Promote the coordinated implementation of fiscal and monetary policies. Use fiscal tools such as interest subsidies, rewards, and risk compensation, deepen the function of treasury bonds as a core link, and establish an evaluation and feedback mechanism. Explore financial cooperation models and tools to magnify the leverage effect of fiscal funds [62]. - Improve the Efficiency of Transfer Payments: Transfer payments may be arranged at over 10 trillion yuan. The structure of transfer payments should be optimized, the proportion of general transfer payments increased, and a direct - access mechanism for fiscal funds improved [63]. - Deepen Tax System Reform with Consumption Tax Reform: Speed up consumption tax reform, including the post - transfer of the collection link and the transfer to local governments. Cultivate local - specific main taxes and explore new taxes [64][65]. - Expand Zero - based Budget Reform Pilots: Expand zero - based budget reform pilots in an orderly manner, set phased and classified reform goals, and promote supporting system construction. At the same time, clarify the division of central - local fiscal powers and expenditure responsibilities [66]. - Establish a Government Asset - Liability Table: Establish and improve the government asset - liability table, promote debt risk resolution, and build a long - term debt management mechanism. Promote the transformation of government debt from leveraging up to optimizing leverage and address the root causes through deep - seated fiscal and tax system reforms [67][69].
