TREE NEWS update: Beijing issued a total of 235.35 billion yuan in special local government bonds across eight tranches, including 18.85 billion yuan of 2-year shantytown redevelopment bonds at a 1.26% coupon and 88.83 billion yuan of 3-year special bonds at 1.31%. Tenors ranged from 2 to 30 years, with 30-year bonds priced at 2.22% and 10-year other special bonds drawing a marginal bid multiple of 12.50x.
Beijing Issues 235.35B Yuan in Special Local Government Bonds
The scale of this issuance matters less than its pricing: the curve running from 1.26% at two years to 2.22% at thirty signals very subdued long-run inflation and growth expectations from a sovereign borrower, and the 12.50x marginal bid on the ten-year tranche points to demand far exceeding supply at these yields. For RWA and tokenized-treasury products, this is the benchmark that competes with on-chain yield, so the spread between low-yield government paper and tokenized alternatives is the number worth tracking. Whether that bid multiple holds on future tranches is the open question.
