Since the beginning of this year, cases of “unified borrowing and repayment” of municipal bonds have been implemented, and the debt reduction policy has been further expanded from 12 key provinces. The newly added special bonds in some provinces may be used to resolve existing debts.China Chengxin International believesThe policy allows municipal investment platforms in key provinces that have no equity relationship to borrow new money to repay old debts through unified borrowing and repayment, which is a breakthrough in unified borrowing and repayment.Opened up a new path for this round of local debt

Huatai Securities pointed outPay attention to the "newly appeared" urban investment entities with new capabilitiesConsidering that the use of funds raised by most of the "newly-launched" entities this year is still limited to borrowing new money to repay old debts for their subsidiaries, in comparison, the "newly-launched" broad-sense urban investment entities with new capabilities may serve as one of the windows for local new financing and provide certain liquidity support for local platforms.However, there is not much growth in this category at present, and we should pay attention to the possibility of increasing the volume in the future. In addition, the market awareness of this type of entity is relatively low in the early stage of issuance, so there may be certain alpha opportunities.
