Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. Core Viewpoints - In Q1 2026, government bond issuance continued the front - loading trend, with total issuance expanding year - on - year but net financing declining due to increased repayment. In Q2, fiscal policy will remain proactive, and government bond supply will be strong with an optimized rhythm. The net financing scale of government bonds in Q2 is expected to be around 4 trillion yuan, and attention should be paid to the impact of special treasury bond issuance on the market and the long - term bond reception capacity [2][3][34]. Summary by Directory 1. Q1 Review: Total Government Bond Volume Increased Year - on - Year, and Net Financing Declined Relatively 1.1 Scale and Rhythm: Longer Maturity of Treasury Bond Issuance, Slower Year - on - Year Growth of Local Refinancing Bonds - In Q1 2026, government bond issuance continued the front - loading feature. The total issuance increased by 5490.72 billion yuan year - on - year, but net financing decreased by 5637.03 billion yuan due to higher repayment. Treasury bond issuance was front - loaded, with a net financing progress of 21.55% of the annual expected scale, similar to the same period in 2025. Local bond issuance was also front - loaded, with a net financing progress of 40.32%, the fastest in the past five years. New special local bonds had a faster issuance progress, and local ordinary refinancing bonds were issued faster while special refinancing bonds were slower [9][10][12]. 1.2 Term Structure and Issuance Sentiment: Expansion of Medium - and Long - Term Treasury Bonds, Increase in 10Y and 30Y Local Bonds - Treasury bond issuance expansion was concentrated in the 7 - 10Y medium - and long - term, with the overall duration lengthened. The issuance sentiment was stable, and the market's reception capacity was maintained. Local bond term structure was more concentrated in 10Y and 30Y, and although the weighted duration decreased, the supply pressure at key long - term points increased. The long - term concentrated issuance of local bonds affected market participation, but the pricing stability was strong [18][20][22]. 2. Q2 Outlook: Fiscal Policy Remains Front - Loaded, and Supply in Q2 is Strong 2.1 Supply Side: Front - Loaded Treasury Bond Issuance, Smooth Local Bond Issuance - In Q2, fiscal policy will remain proactive, and government bond supply will be strong with an optimized rhythm. Treasury bond issuance is expected to increase, with a total issuance of about 45088.60 billion yuan and a net financing of 20983.30 billion yuan, reaching about 50% of the annual net financing progress by the end of Q2. Local bond issuance will be smooth, with a peak in May. The total issuance is expected to be about 29370.10 billion yuan, and the net financing is about 19021.61 billion yuan [25][27][30]. 2.2 Sentiment Side: Pay Attention to the Potential Impact of Special Treasury Bond Issuance on the Market - The special treasury bond issuance arrangement is not fully clear. Historically, the announcement of the issuance plan has easily led to short - term gaming, and the supply shock is mainly concentrated in the T + 1 to T + 5 window, with a stronger impact on the 30Y interest rate than the 10Y [35][37]. 2.3 Demand Side: Pay Attention to the Reception Capacity of Allocation - Oriented Investors for Ultra - Long - Term Treasury Bonds - In Q1 2026, insurance funds' willingness to allocate long - term treasury bonds was significantly weaker than in the same period last year, while the demand for long - term and ultra - long - term local bonds was more stable. In Q2, more attention should be paid to the market's reception capacity for ultra - long - term treasury bonds [38][40][41].

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].

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. Core Viewpoints - The special treasury bond issuance plan this year may be earlier than last year. The issuance plan in 2024 was announced in May, and in 2025 it was advanced to April 16. With the earlier release of the list of 'two - heavy' construction projects and the statement of accelerating fund allocation, it is judged that this year's plan may be even earlier [8][14]. - The current 30 - year treasury bond active bond (2500006) is 'unreasonable' as its balance is much less than 2500002. If the active bond expectation changes, the spread between 2500006 and 2500002 may widen [8][15]. - Market prices active bonds based on the special treasury bond issuance plan. In 2024, the active bond did not change as the scale of special treasury bonds was similar to 230023. In 2025, due to the earlier issuance plan and larger expected scale of new bonds, the active bond expectation of 250002 weakened, and the spread between 250002 and 230023 widened [8][15][16]. - For this year, if the estimated balance based on the special treasury bond issuance plan is higher than the current active bond, 2500006 may weaken, and funds may flow to 2500002 or 230023, with the spreads of 2500006 - 2500002 and 2500006 - 230023 likely to widen. It is advisable to appropriately allocate some 30 - year old bonds before the special treasury bond issuance plan [8][16]. - Currently, 2500006 has a high bond - lending concentration. If it weakens, short - sellers can close positions for profit. However, if there are significant positive events in the bond market before the issuance plan, 2500006 may perform relatively stronger [9][17]. Summary by Directory 1. This Week's Bond Market Review - There are many 30 - year treasury bond varieties with certain liquidity. As the second quarter approaches, investors are advised to pay attention to the impact of the special treasury bond issuance plan on the active bond switch [14]. - The special treasury bond issuance plan this year may be earlier than last year. The earlier release of the 'two - heavy' project list and the call for accelerating fund allocation support this judgment [8][14]. - If the issuance is advanced, it will affect the long - term bond trend. The current active bond 2500006 is 'unreasonable', and its spread with 2500002 may widen if the expectation changes [8][15]. - By comparing history, it is found that the market prices active bonds according to the issuance plan. In 2024, the active bond did not change, while in 2025, the active bond expectation of 250002 weakened, and the spread with 230023 widened [8][15][16]. - For this year, 2500006 may weaken, and the spreads with 2500002 and 230023 may widen. It is recommended to allocate some 30 - year old bonds before the issuance plan [8][16]. - 2500006 has a high bond - lending concentration. Its performance may be affected by short - selling and positive market events [9][17].
