Highlights from Chinese press reports on Tuesday:

  • Local governments will likely accelerate the issuance of special bonds to fund the construction of major projects, as the pace of issuance in January slowed compared to the same period over the last two years. A total of CNY56.8 billion of new special bonds were issued in January, mainly invested in municipal and industrial park infrastructure and rail transportation. While the issuance in February is expected to reach CNY159.9 billion. The issuance of additional CNY1 trillion of treasury bonds in Q4 2023 for transfer payment to local governments had increased disposable fiscal resources and crowded out some local bonds at the beginning of the year, analysts said.

  • Local-securities regulators should strengthen coordination with different departments and promote the inclusion of the goal to improve listed companies’ quality into local-government performance assessments, CCTV News reported citing sources from the China Securities Regulatory Commission. Guo Ruiming, head of the CSRC Listing Department said visits to companies showed their demands cover many aspects including bank financing coordination, export convenience and intellectual property protection.
