1. Investor Benefits and Risks
For investors, ultra-long-term treasury bonds are undoubtedly a long-term and stable investment channel, which can obtain relatively stable interest income, but also face certain inflation and interest rate risks, which need to be treated rationally, scientifically allocate assets, and prevent risks.
2. Use of Government Funds
When using ultra-long-term treasury bond funds, the government should strictly follow the principle of "earmarking funds for specific purposes," strengthen transparency and supervision over the use of funds, ensure that funds are used for major projects and fields that really need long-term support, and improve the efficiency and social benefits of the use of funds.
3. Protect against debt risk
With the gradual expansion of the scale of ultra-long-term treasury bonds, the prevention of debt risks is particularly important, and it is necessary to establish a sound risk assessment and early warning mechanism, strengthen debt management and supervision, control debt levels, prevent systemic and regional financial risks, and ensure the safe operation of treasury bond funds.
