Key quotes
“Total debt of local government financing vehicles rose to about 53 trillion yuan ($8.2 trillion) at the end of last year from 16 trillion yuan in 2013.”
“That’s equal to about 52% of gross domestic product and is larger than the amount of official outstanding government debt.”
“More official local government bond issuance and increased flexibility on local government financing are probably needed to support overall economic growth.”
