The issuance of special bonds was accelerated, and attention was paid to the opportunities of the construction machinery sector under the background of steady growth

On March 5, the government work report of the State Council pointed out that the annual economic growth target is about 5.5%. We should put steady growth in a more prominent position and moderately advance infrastructure investment. In 2022, it is planned to increase the amount of special bonds of local governments by 3.65 trillion yuan, and the amount of new special bonds has been issued in advance by 1.46 trillion yuan. The total amount of the two funds exceeds 5 trillion yuan, effectively stimulating investment in infrastructure and other aspects. This year, the issuance pace of special bonds has been significantly ahead and accelerated. According to China Securities News, in the first two months of 2022, a total of 877.5 billion yuan of new local government special bonds were issued across the country, accounting for more than 60% of the “early approval” quota. However, the issuance of new special bonds in 2021 began in March. We expect that the new special bonds will be mainly issued in the first half of this year.

Pay attention to the electric wave of the industry in the next five years, and the rhythm is expected to exceed market expectations

Electrification can reduce the life cycle cost of construction machinery, transfer the value in the operation stage to the manufacturing end, and improve the technical level of equipment and software, which is conducive to the expansion of market scale and profit margin of the industry. Based on the advantages of saving operating costs and policy support (e.g. prohibition of excessive emissions on the road, unlimited green card travel, tax reduction, etc.), the electrification penetration rate of construction machinery products represented by excavation machinery and concrete machinery is expected to achieve leapfrog development in the future.
