Exclusive: China plans record $411 billion special treasury bond issuance next year

From Reuters

The plan for 2025 sovereign debt issuance would be a sharp increase from this year’s 1 trillion yuan and comes as Beijing moves to soften the blow from an expected increase in U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports when Donald Trump takes office in January.

The proceeds will be targeted at boosting consumption via subsidy programmes, equipment upgrades by businesses and funding investments in innovation-driven advanced sectors, among other initiatives.
