惠誉：能源价格上涨正在削弱发达市场的增长与通胀前景，并给公共财政带来压力。

Guan Peng, director of the Fixed‑Asset Investment Department at the China State Planner, said at a State Council briefing on June 8 that the agency, together with the Ministry of Housing and Urban‑Rural Development, has been using ultra‑long special treasury bond funds to support renovation of aging urban gas, water supply, drainage, sewage and district heating networks. He said the China State Planner will continue to allocate ultra‑long special treasury bond funds to step up support for urban underground pipeline construction and upgrade projects.

MOHURD told a State Council briefing on June 8 that China’s urban underground pipeline network totals about 3.9 mln km, with roughly 7,700 km of underground utility corridors completed. During the 15th Five‑Year Plan period the ministry said it will build or renovate about 770,000 km of urban underground pipelines – including ~200,000 km of gas, ~175,000 km of drainage, ~175,000 km of water supply, ~100,000 km of sewage and ~120,000 km of heating pipelines – a programme the ministry said will strengthen urban resilience and support investment demand.
