Guangdong’s LGFVs
Rising bond issuance to support infrastructure upgrade projects
Guangdong’s lower reliance on local government financing vehicle (LGFV) bonds than other well-developed provinces could change given its development plans including the Greater Bay Area (GBA) projects. We expect bond issuance by the province’s LGFVs to increase in the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021 – 2025).
Join us in this webinar where we will discuss:
- How resilient is Guangdong’s economy/fiscal position to withstand the property sector downturn?
- Is Guangdong’s economic development concentrated on Guangzhou and Shenzhen?
- What are the key infrastructure projects in the 14th Five-Year Plan and GBA Development Plan?
- Why will LGFVs finance these projects given local governments’ strong fiscal position and Guangdong’s robust private sector?
