地方政府债券是指由地方政府代表辖区内居民向社会举债，来建设本地公用事业的借款凭证。美国次贷危机引发的国际金融危机对我国的负面影响逐步显现，面对经济严重下滑，财政收支紧张的状况，财政部通过发行国债大规模地增加政府投资。为了明确中央和地方的责任，地方政府也相应安排了配套资金，而发行地方政府债券是地方政府筹措资金比较规范的途径。地方政府财政支出比重却不断上涨，地方政府财权和事权的不协调，使地方政府陷入巨大的财政困境，因此中国各地区、各层级的地方政府大都在不同程度上举债度日或负债经营，而且所负债务的种类之多，负担之重，已超出一般人之想象。今年中国政府首次由财政部代理发行了地方政府债券，并负责代办还本付息，其信用接近于国债，成为地方政府配合中央扩内需保增长目标的重要举措，也使得我国在市政债券发行的可行性与必要性方面终于迈出了关键的一步。与此同时，也暴露出我国在市政债券发展方面的很多问题。
