In response, Meng Wei, a spokesperson for the National Development and Reform Commission, said that local government special bonds are an important source of funds for local construction projects and play an important role in expanding effective investment. In accordance with the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the National Development and Reform Commission has guided and urged all localities to adhere to the principle of “funds follow the project”, do a solid job of preparations for special bond projects, and promote the formation of physical workloads for special bonds as soon as possible, and actively expand effective investment. From the perspective of work, the focus is to do a good job in three areas:
The first is to strengthen the management of special bond investment fields. According to the deployment of the State Council, the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission have clarified the areas of special bond investment in 9 areas such as transportation and energy, and jointly formulated a list of prohibited projects in the areas where special bond funds are invested, which is to clarify where and where local special bond funds are invested.

Strictly implement the management system for investment fields to ensure that the special bonds are accurately used for government-led infrastructure and public service projects that must be done sooner or later, and have certain yields. Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission has selected the special bond projects submitted by local governments in terms of investment fields and formed a list of prepared projects, which will lay a solid project foundation for the accelerated issuance and use of special bonds next year.
The second is to pay close attention to the preliminary work of next year’s special bond project.

In the next step, in order to promote the early issuance and use of special bonds next year, The National Development and Reform Commission has guided and urged all localities to promptly complete the preliminary work of the planned special bond issuance project based on the work in recent months, and promote the issuance of special bonds as soon as possible .

The third is to accelerate the start and construction of special bond projects in progress. A large proportion of this year’s special bonds were issued in the second half of the year, and a considerable part of them will be used in the first quarter of next year, which can form a superposition effect with the special bonds issued next year, which will provide strong support for the expansion of effective investment next year. The National Development and Reform Commission relies on the national major construction project database to strengthenProject progress monitoring and scheduling, and urge all localities to promptly complete various preparations for projects that have not yet started, and promote the start of construction as soon as possible; increase coordination and advancement of project construction for projects under construction to ensure smooth construction and implementation of projects.
