China’s ‘Six Networks’ Build-Out Gains Pace, Multi-Network Coordination Bolsters Investment to Expand Domestic

China’s National Development and Reform Commission detailed progress on the 'Six Networks'—water, electricity, computing, communications, urban underground pipelines and logistics—and announced heightened multi-network coordination to boost effective investment and expand domestic demand. In 2026, over RMB7 trillion will be invested in these networks and key areas. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, investment in new-type power grids and underground pipelines is projected at around RMB5 trillion each, and computing network direct investment will add RMB4 trillion. In the first half, private capital into water network construction exceeded RMB10.8 billion, up 85.8% year-on-year.

China Politburo lays out H2 agenda: speed fiscal spending, bond use; push 'two major, two new' programs

The Politburo met on July 30 to set second-half priorities, calling for faster fiscal spending and bond deployment, advancement of "two major" national projects and "two new" equipment renewal and trade-in programs, and firm protection of the grassroots "three guarantees" (basic living, wage payments and government operations). Monetary policy will be used flexibly while fiscal-financial coordination is optimised to drive domestic demand. In H1, general public budget expenditure rose 1.5% to RMB14.33 trillion, boosted by 10.8% growth in healthcare and 7.6% in social security. The 2026 proactive fiscal stance includes RMB1.3 trillion in ultra-long special bonds, of which RMB572 billion has been issued. Basic pension subsidies reached RMB1.2 trillion and medical insurance subsidies RMB386.4 billion. A new RMB100 billion six-policy package combining fiscal interest subsidies drove more than RMB17 trillion in related lending and supported approximately RMB1.31 trillion in consumer spending, delivering 99 million person-times of subsidy benefits.

New Defaults in Credit Bond Market at Multi-Year Low; Private Firms Issue 270B Yuan at 1.89%

Since 2026, the credit bond market has recorded only two new default entities involving 288 million yuan, with the new default rate at a multi-year low. Meanwhile, 12 bonds actually defaulted totaling 14.329 billion yuan, mainly from previously exposed entities. Accommodative monetary policy and local debt resolution measures have driven risk convergence, easing risks in LGFV and real estate sectors. In the first half, private firms issued about 270 billion yuan in bonds, up nearly 30% year-on-year, with the average rate for 3-year AAA-rated medium-term notes at 1.89%, signaling improved credit conditions. However, debt repayment risks for weaker entities persist.
