On December 11, the Beijing Municipal Finance Bureau announced in the evening that it planned to issue the eleventh batch of local bonds in 2024 on December 18, in which Beijing local government refinancing special bonds (38), (40) and (42) were used to replace the existing hidden debt, totaling 4.7 billion yuan, which will be held in December. So far, the distribution of the implicit debt quota of 2 trillion yuan replacement stock this year has all been announced. In some areas, a three-year special debt limit for local governments to replace hidden debts in stock has been issued at one time, and it is planned to be implemented in three years. It is understood that after the issuance of refinancing special bonds for replacing hidden debts, part of the raised funds have been used to replace hidden debts such as policy bank loans of city investment companies. In addition, some professionals believe that there may be a lot of funds used to repay interest or debts due. In the past two months, the early payment of urban investment bonds has not increased significantly. The active promotion of debt conversion has further strengthened the expectation of city investment bonds, and city investment projects in some areas have become "hot cakes" in the eyes of financial institutions.
