The 260th Wenlan Financial Forum

Abstract

In recent years, the economic downturn, combined with trade frictions and repeated outbreaks of COVID-19, has significantly increased downward pressure on the real economy, increased local fiscal burdens and highlighted China's debt risk. Under this background, this paper uses cutting-edge network synthesis technology to investigate the cross-regional and cross-industry contagion effects of debt risk. On the basis of this, this paper puts forward some suggestions on improving the disposal mechanism of debt default and preventing debt risk contagion, so as to provide useful decision-making basis for debt risk prevention at present.
