According to the guideline, companies can use the sports industry special bonds to raise funds for programs of sports bases and venues, sports and leisure facilities
and developing sports products. It can also be used to support the construction of infrastructure in the fields of ice sports, football, water sports, air sports, outdoor sports and sports parks.
Companies are allowed to issue such special bonds with flexible terms, options, payment modes of principal and interest, which is mainly paid by the revenue of their sports programs in the future.
Before this guideline, special bonds were primarily issued by State-owned Enterprises in the field of infrastructure. In 2016, the NDRC approved such special bonds with a total volume of more than US $119 billion.
