Local government bonds are classified according to the purpose of funds and the source of repayment funds, and can usually be divided into general bonds (ordinary bonds) and special bonds (income bonds). The former refers to bonds issued by local governments to alleviate the shortage of funds or solve the temporary shortage of funds, while the latter refers to bonds issued to raise funds to build specific projects.
Bond refers to a kind of securities. In short, the bond is that the issuer sells it to the buyer in order to raise funds, and the buyer lends the money to the issuer. The relationship between the two sides has grown from nothing to creditor's rights and debts. There are also many issuers of bonds, which can be countries, local governments, companies and so on. Bonds have three basic elements: face value, term and coupon.
