2008年年底,中央出台四万亿应对金融危机的方案,地方政府面临大量的资金配套任务。在资金短缺的背景下,地方融资平台成为主要的融资工具。在过去的一年中,各级政府融资平台数量和负债规模超乎常规地急剧增长,其潜在的各种风险,已引发决策层高度关注。 By the end of 2008, the central government put forth four trillion yuan in response to the financial crisis and the local government is facing a lot of financial support tasks. In the context of a shortage of funds, the local financing platform has become a major financing tool. Over the past year, the number of government funding platforms and debt at all levels have risen sharply beyond normal and their potential risks have drawn the attention of policy makers.
