Other counter-cyclical adjustment policies and tools are also under study, such as the central government still has a considerable amount of room for increasing debt and deficits.
Sinolink Securities pointed out that financialization of debts has become an important means of resolving local government debts, with Asset Management Companies (AMCs) being the most direct beneficiaries. On one hand, income benefits from the increased disposal of non-performing assets, and on the other hand, the asset quality of non-performing assets will also improve during the economic recovery process. Local AMCs have started actively participating in debt conversion.
Zheshang Securities believes that AMCs can play an important role in the debt conversion process, helping local governments deal with bad debts by acquiring local government non-performing debts, conducting debt restructuring, and gaining new business opportunities. Additionally, the relevant measures of the Ministry of Finance may bring financial support or policy preferences, enabling AMCs to more easily obtain funds, reduce financing costs, and improve profitability in conducting business.
