Chinese media reported that China could rack up $850 billion in debt to help revive its economy.
China has vowed to roll out more fiscal stimulus, but key details were missing in a recent update.
AdvertisementChina's fiscal stimulus efforts could include racking up almost $1 trillion in fresh debt over the next several years, according to local media.
The money could be used as fiscal stimulus and to help "off-the-books debt" in local governments, the people added.
One researcher recently estimated that the direct effects of China's latest stimulus package may not be felt until 2025, mainly because more fiscal stimulus needs to be unlocked before the policies can bolster the nation's economy.
