steady investment and steady growth
The central economic work conference proposed that all regions and departments should shoulder the responsibility of stabilizing the macro economy, all parties should actively launch policies conducive to economic stability, and the policy force should be appropriately advanced.

In 2022, infrastructure investment may achieve a medium to high growth rate of 6.5%, moderately higher than the economic growth rate, and play a leading role effectively. In the infrastructure investment in 2022, the proportion of new infrastructure investment is expected to increase from about 10% to 15%, and the investment scale in new energy, pollution reduction, carbon reduction, green building, urban and rural pipe network, parking lot and other fields will increase significantly.
financial guarantee provided by local bonds
The central economic work conference made it clear that this year's active fiscal policy should improve efficiency and pay more attention to accuracy and sustainability. We should ensure the intensity of fiscal expenditure and speed up the progress of expenditure. We will implement new tax reduction and fee reduction policies, strengthen support for small, medium-sized and micro enterprises, individual industrial and commercial households, manufacturing and risk resolution, and moderately advance infrastructure investment.
Local government bonds, especially special bonds, are an important source of capital for infrastructure investment. Intensive deployment from the central to local governments and accelerating the issuance of bonds in the first quarter will provide financial guarantee for the commencement of infrastructure projects.
Xu Hongcai, Vice Minister of finance, said at the briefing of the state information office a few days ago that in view of the great pressure on steady growth in the first quarter, the Ministry of finance has recently issued a new special debt limit of 1.46 trillion yuan in 2022 in advance, requiring all localities to issue and use it early in the first quarter, so as to give better play to the positive role of special bonds in stabilizing investment and steady growth.
Xu Hongcai said that the issuance of special bonds in 2022 should grasp three words: early, accurate and fast. Guide the local authorities to map the quota issued in advance to the project as soon as possible, and start preparing the issuance plan before the end of 2021 to ensure that a considerable number of special bonds are issued and used in the first quarter. After the National People's Congress approves the new special debt limit in 2022, it will issue the remaining amount according to the procedures, and require local governments to appropriately speed up the issuance progress and form the physical workload as soon as possible in accordance with the principle of "funds follow the project".
Meng Wei, spokesman of the national development and Reform Commission, said at a news conference recently that the national development and Reform Commission has screened the investment fields of 2022 special bond projects submitted by local governments and formed a list of preparatory projects, which will lay a solid project foundation for accelerating the issuance and use of 2022 special bonds. The national development and Reform Commission guided and urged all localities to adhere to the principle of "funds follow the project", do a solid job in the preparation of special bond projects, promote the physical workload of special bonds as soon as possible, and actively expand effective investment.
Locally, many provinces recently disclosed the local government bond issuance plan for the first quarter of 2022. For example, the government bond issuance schedule for the first quarter of 2022 released by Zhejiang Provincial Department of finance shows that 95.4 billion yuan of new special bonds will be issued in the first quarter, of which 30 billion yuan will be issued in late January.
According to Wang Qing, chief Macro Analyst of Dongfang Jincheng, infrastructure investment is an important support for stabilizing the macro-economic market in 2022. In 2022, infrastructure investment is expected to increase by 4.0% to 6.0% year-on-year, significantly higher than the almost flat growth level in the past two years. Among them, under the background of the steady growth policy, the growth rate of infrastructure investment in the first quarter of 2022 is expected to reach 7.0% to 8.0%, thus reversing the negative year-on-year growth (- about 3.0%) in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Wang Jun, chief economist of Zhongyuan bank, told the first financial reporter that this year's fiscal policy is ahead of schedule, and the amount of local debt has been issued. However, according to the law or generally speaking, it may be transmitted to the downstream and terminal in 1 ~ 2 quarters, faster and faster, forming a physical workload. Therefore, the overall investment in the first quarter or even the second quarter of this year may still be in a relatively low position. If it really hits the bottom and rebounds in the second half of this year, it will play a positive and good role in the operation of the whole economy.
Luo Zhiheng believes that due to the impact of the tightening of urban investment bonds, the negative growth of land finance and the limited proportion of general public budget investment in infrastructure, the special debt is difficult to support, and the capital side lacks an obvious starting point. Infrastructure investment will rebound, but the range is limited, with an annual growth rate of 4% ~ 6%.
