China to Increase Government Debt Issuance for Economic Stimulus

By Kevin Yao and Joe Cash

In a bid to jumpstart its slowing economy, China announced on Saturday that it will significantly increase government debt issuance. The funds will be used to provide subsidies to individuals with low incomes, support the property market, and bolster state banks’ capital. Finance Minister Lan Foan revealed that more counter-cyclical measures will be implemented this year, although specific details about the size of the fiscal stimulus were not disclosed.

The Chinese economy has been grappling with deflationary pressures stemming from a sharp downturn in the property market and weak consumer confidence. The country’s heavy reliance on exports has been further compounded by a challenging global trade environment. Recent economic data has fallen short of expectations, fueling concerns among economists and investors about achieving the government’s growth target of around 5% for the year.

Despite the challenges, Zheng Shanjie, the chairman of China’s state planner, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), expressed confidence in meeting the growth target. Speculation surrounding fiscal stimulus intensified following a meeting of the Communist Party’s top leaders in September, leading to a surge in Chinese stocks. However, uncertainty loomed as further details on additional spending plans were awaited.

Reports indicated that China plans to issue special sovereign bonds worth approximately 2 trillion yuan ($284.43 billion) this year as part of the stimulus package. Half of the funds will be allocated to help local governments address debt issues, while the remainder will support consumer spending through subsidies and monthly allowances for households with two or more children. Additionally, China is considering injecting up to 1 trillion yuan into its major state banks to enhance their capacity to support the economy.

While the central bank has already implemented aggressive monetary measures to support the economy, analysts emphasize the need to address structural issues such as boosting consumption and reducing reliance on debt-driven infrastructure investment. Despite the challenges, Lan reassured that local governments still have significant funds available to spend in the final quarter of the year.

China’s household spending lags behind the global average due to low wages, high youth unemployment, and a limited social safety net. Efforts to increase consumer spending and address structural challenges are crucial for sustainable economic growth. The government’s commitment to addressing these issues through fiscal stimulus and support for local governments reflects a proactive approach to reviving the economy.

As China navigates economic headwinds, the implementation of targeted measures and structural reforms will be essential for achieving long-term growth and stability. The government’s focus on stimulating consumer spending, supporting the property market, and strengthening state banks underscores its commitment to fostering economic recovery and resilience.
