China's local government debt ratio - local government outstanding debt/ total fiscal revenue - is approaching or has reached the international red line of 120%, even though China government debt ratio - national outstanding debt/GDP - is lower than 60%, it said. The surging issuance of local government special bonds in recent years has increased debt risk, particularly for some governments in the middle and west regions. New debt interest repayments reached a record high of CNY192 billion last year, even though rates on debt issues dropped to 3.02% in 2022 from 3.89% in 2018.
