Local Debts in China Need to be Handled Carefully
ANBOUND

In 2018, some local and corporate bonds in China will all be expired; many companies have already incurred debt defaults. Anbound points out that this is closely tied to the local implicit debt. Local deleveraging does not just concern leveraging government debt; it also includes corporate debt leverage. In the past, when the government was engaged in investments and projects, it would often include corporate businesses, and this has formed a bond between the government and the corporate world. This complicates the localization of debt risk and requires careful handling. If the local debts are 'cleaned-up' excessively, local financial risks could be induced.
