Project construction can not be separated from the guarantee of funds. At present, when local governments are concentrating on launching projects, the arrival of 1 trillion yuan of additional treasury bonds is just in time, which has become a major opportunity for local governments to actively seize.
As for the projects involved in the issuance of additional treasury bonds, the National Development and Reform Commission has recently made it clear that the additional 1 trillion yuan of treasury bonds issued in the fourth quarter of this year will give priority to supporting key projects identified in national and local planning. It is understood that in order to effectively improve the accuracy and effectiveness of investment, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance will soon issue a circular requiring all localities to sort out a number of eligible projects and submit them in time through the national major construction project database. The project must be a project under construction since 2021, or a new project under construction before the end of June next year.
With the implementation and landing of major projects around the country and the financial support of trillions of national debt, the follow-up will have a positive impact on cement demand.
