China's hidden $5.8 Trillion Hidden Debt


According to S&P Global Rating Chinese Local Governments have accumulated in excess of 40 Trillion Yuan ($5.8 Trillion) of off-balance sheet debts and that defaults are extremely likely to occur.

A team of S&P Economists lead by Gloria Lu reported that much of this debt built up by Local Governments Finance Vehicles do not have the full financial.  “The potential amount of debt is an iceberg with titanic credit risks,”

With the National Economy slowing due to the growing trade tensions with the USA, the Beijing set of quota for the issuance of local-Government bonds is not enough to fund the old and new infrastructure projects that are used to support regional growth.  Authorities across the country have resorted to LGFV (Local Government financing vehicle) to raise the necessary finance according to Gloria Lu.

This has left the LGFVs “walking a tightrope” between deleveraging and transforming their businesses into more typical state-owned enterprises, the S&P analysts said.
With rising defaults within the LGFV market, the Chinese Government is seeking to roll back a decade’s old practice of implicit guarantees for the debt

The most sensitive LGFVs include the following, in S&P’s analysis:

•    Those tied to weakened prefectural, city or district-level Governments with lenient supervision over state-owned enterprises.

•    Those focused on commercial activities -- thus having lower importance to Local Governments.

•    Those with serious refinancing risks thanks to large short-term debt or reliance on borrowing from the shadow-banking sector.

A shift in Chinese Central Governments thinking is occurring, previously they were focused on reducing leverage in the financial system now they are the focus on funding to sustain growth at the Local level. 

“The markets are right, in our view, to feel more concerned about the sustainability of China’s debt and the increased financial risks,” said Liu Li-Gang, chief China economist at Citigroup in Hong Kong. He also said there will be “renewed pressure” on the yuan.

Even with the Central Government’s shift toward the increased stimulus, however, S&P sees Beijing determined to “bring discipline to the financing practices of Local Governments and their LGFVs.” That ultimately may mean Local Authorities aren’t fully able to keep LGFVs afloat, however, and the bottom line is “the default risk of LGFVs is increasing.”

Industrial wood pellets are trading at an all-time high.

EcoCrops International reports that Industrial wood pellets, as opposed to domestic wood pellets, are currently trading at an all-time high.  With the Argus 90 day Industrial wood pellet index trading at US$210 per tonne, up strongly from July 2018 where they were trading at US$175. The steep increase in prices is primarily driven by higher demand from European Power Stations.  Such as new power station coming online in the Netherland, Belgium, and Italy.  And existing Power stations such as the huge UK Drax power station burning more wood pellets and burning less coal. This trend is set to increase due to a number of factors: The EU climate change targets for reducing its greenhouse emissions, transforming the EU carbon-based fuel (coal) police towards a low carbon economy by 2050.  With targets for the reductions of greenhouse emissions is set for 2020 and 2030. Germany’s plant to phase out all coal power stations by 2038.  And the increased efficiency of carbon capture a

Secure your online wallets & be careful with online services

You should be wary of any service designed to store your money online. Many exchanges and online wallets suffered from security breaches in the past and such services generally still do not provide enough insurance and security to be used to store money like a bank. Accordingly, you might want to use other types of Cyber currency wallets.  Otherwise, you should choose such services very carefully. Additionally, using two-factor authentication is recommended. Small amounts for everyday uses A Bitcoin wallet is like a wallet with cash. If you wouldn't keep a thousand dollars in your pocket, you might want to have the same consideration for your Bitcoin wallet. In general, it is a good practice to keep only small amounts of bitcoins on your computer, mobile, or server for everyday uses and to keep the remaining part of your funds in a safer environment. Backup your wallet Stored in a safe place, a backup of your wallet can protect you against computer failures and many hu

British Power Generator Drax creates world first Carbon Capture on its wood pellet power plant

Drax’s wood pellet power station has started to capture all C02 produced from the combustion of its wood pellets feedstock. A small demonstration plant located in a facility near Selby, North Yorkshire is capturing the C02 by using an amine-free solvent-based process called C-capture. C-capture was developed by the University of Leeds in conjunction with Drax who invested £400,000 in developing the plant. The Director of Engineering of C-Capture. Said “Working at this scale is really where the engineering gets interesting. The challenge now is to get all the information we need to design and build a capture plant 10,000 times bigger. It’s only really when we get to those sorts of scales that we can start to have an impact on the climate.”  James Grainger of Ecocrops Internationa l said the implication for the wood pellet market is enormous as it will change wood pellets from being carbon neutral fuel source to being carbon positive fuel source. www.ecocropsinternational.com
