Reuters exclusively reported that Chinese regulators have closed a regulatory loophole that last year allowed heavily indebted local government financing vehicles (LGFVs) to further increase their borrowing. 

Market Impact

The NDRC published regulations on medium and long-term foreign debt in January 2023, but said offshore debt financing with maturities of less than one year did not need approval. That led to 27 offshore LGFV bonds with a duration of 364 days being issued in 2023, most of them after October and with yields above 6%, data from TianFeng Securities showed.
