Chinese City Builds Stadium With Debt Seen Toxic
Bloomberg’s Stephen Engle reports from Loudi, China, on the construction of infrastructure financed by local government debt.   Loudi is paying for the building of a 30,000-seat stadium, bulb-shaped gymnasium and swimming complex with 1.2 billion yuan ($185 million) in bonds, guaranteed by land valued at $1.5 million an acre. That’s about the same as prices in Winnetka, a Chicago suburb where the average household earns more than $250,000 a year. In Loudi, people take home $2,323 annually.
