BEIJING — China on Friday announced the central government would allocate an additional 6 trillion yuan ($840 billion) to local governments for tackling hidden debt issues. The policies will reduce hidden debt from 14.3 trillion yuan to 2.3 trillion yuan by 2028, Lan said. At the parliamentary meeting, officials had reviewed a plan to increase the limit on how much debt local governments can issue, according to state media. The additional quota would go toward swapping out local governments’ hidden debt. Nomura estimates that China has 50 trillion yuan to 60 trillion yuan ($7 trillion to $8.4 trillion) in such hidden debt, and said it expected that Beijing could allow local authorities to increase debt issuance by 10 trillion yuan over the next few years.

☆ China expected to announce highly anticipated fiscal stimulus package

BEIJING – China is widely expected to unveil more stimulus on Friday after its parliament ends a five-day meeting. President Xi Jinping led a meeting on Sept. 26 that called for strengthening fiscal and monetary support, and stopping the real estate market slump. While the People's Bank of China has already cut several interest rates, major increases in government debt and spending requires approval by the country's parliament, called the National People's Congress. Analysts expect an increase in the scale of fiscal support after Donald Trump — who has threatened harsh tariffs on Chinese goods — won the U.S. presidential election this week. When discussing planned fiscal support at a press conference last month, Minister of Finance Lan Fo'an emphasized the need to address local government debt problems.

Vice President Kamala Harris is planning to put manufacturing at the center of her closing message against former President Donald Trump in the battleground state of Michigan on Monday. CNBC's October All-America Economic Survey found 46% of respondents nationally said Trump would be better for the economy in their community versus 38% who said the same of Harris. In battleground states specifically, the poll found that Trump maintained a comparable eight-point edge, also outside the margin of error of 4.0 percentage points. The Michigan tour is part of the Harris campaign's weeklong barnstorming of the battleground states. On Sunday, the Vice President was in Pennsylvania and she is scheduled to visit North Carolina, Wisconsin, Arizona and Nevada on Wednesday and Thursday.
