Local government bond pilot scheme announced

20 October 2011

China's central government today announced a pilot scheme allowing select cities and regions to issue local government bonds for the first time in 17 years. The move opens the door for local governments to manage their finances more independently. It may also be considered as support for local governments suffering from mounting debts following a spending spree since 2009.
