- the bond issuance has been categorized as special treasury bonds
- half of the quota will be used this year and half in the new year
China has already issued over 7.5 trillion yuan in bonds in the first three quarters. The extra 1 trillion come on top of this. The amount is quite large in comparable terms
- in 2020 China issued 1 trillion yuan of special treasury bonds to fund stimulus spending and prop up the economy during the first year of the pandemic
- in 2022, special bond issuance totalled 750 billion yuan
Analysts are hoping that extra issuance will boost the economy, demand and market confidence.
