BEIJING, Aug. 2 (Xinhua) -- China has decided to pilot a revenue bond program to widen local government financing channels.
In a statement Wednesday, the Ministry of Finance said provincial areas would be encouraged to issue special government bonds to finance public projects that can generate stable incomes.
The new financing product is equivalent to U.S. revenue bonds.
The move is a further step to standardize local authority revenue raising and relieve their debt burden.
