Moody's: Chinese local government incentives hinder central government reform agenda

Hong Kong, February 15, 2017-- Moody's Investors Service says that misaligned incentives between China's central and regional and local governments are an obstacle to economic reform and rebalancing, a credit negative. In particular, Moody's notes that wide disparities in the economic and fiscal conditions of RLGs-- which implement the bulk of China's central government policies-- are creating local incentives that in turn can hinder the central government agenda.
