TREE NEWS update: Anhui province issued eight tranches of special-purpose local government bonds, including 10-year toll-road paper of 222 million yuan at a 1.7900% coupon and 20-year toll-road paper of 1.154 billion yuan at 2.2400%. A 15-year other special bond of 5.901 billion yuan priced at 2.0500% drew a marginal bid-to-cover of 32.32x, while a 7-year land-reserve tranche of 2.44 billion yuan at 1.5800% drew 52.00x. Tenors ranged from 5 to 30 years.
Anhui Issues 8 Tranches of Special Local Government Bonds Totaling 13.505B Yuan
The striking feature is the bidding skew: land-reserve and generic special paper drew enormous cover ratios while toll-road tranches, the only ones with a dedicated revenue stream, priced at higher yields for longer tenors. That inversion suggests domestic investors are chasing duration and scarcity of allocation rather than project-level credit, a dynamic worth tracking as more provinces bring road and infrastructure paper to market. Whether that demand holds when supply broadens is the open question.
