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.

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.
