China fiscal policy and bond market developments

Overview

China has implemented significant fiscal measures through the issuance of 1.3 trillion yuan in ultra-long-term special treasury bonds for 2026. These bonds, featuring maturities of 20, 30, and 50 years, are intended to fund major project construction, equipment updates, and consumer stimulus programs.

Subsequent reports indicate that the local government bond stock is expected to exceed 60 trillion yuan by the end of 2026, representing roughly 30 percent of the bond market. While bond issuance reached record levels in 2025, officials have noted challenges regarding interest payment pressures and investment efficiency. There is also a documented shift in bond allocation toward livelihood sectors, such as healthcare and education, moving away from traditional infrastructure spending.
