国家审计署于8月份开始了对全国地方政府性债务的第三次全面审计,地方政府负债的问题已经到了相当严重的地步。在地方政府的收入结构中,严重依赖土地财政成为目前无法改变的现实。土地出让金也是地方政府是否能偿还债务的硬指标。但长期来看,仅靠土地“吃饭”势必难以为继。在这样的困境逻辑里,地方债务绑架了土地财政。如何摆脱饮鸩止渴的局面,成为摆在地方政府面前的一道现实难题。 In August, the National Audit Office started the third comprehensive audit of the nation’s local government debt. The problem of local government debt has come to a very serious level. In the revenue structure of local governments, relying heavily on land finance has become a reality that can not be changed so far. Land transfer payments are also hard indicators of whether local governments can pay their debts. But in the long run, land alone “eat” is bound to unsustainable. In this dilemma logic, local debt abducted land finance. How to get rid of the thirst of drinking and thirsting has become a real challenge before the local government.
