Beijing unveiled a $1.4 trillion bailout for local governments, part of efforts to ward off a looming debt crisis and kickstart a moribund economy.

The funds will help provincial authorities refinance a huge pile of loans that had left many struggling to provide basic services and pay civil servants.

Though a huge sum, it fell short of analysts’ hopes for a broader package targeting Chinaâs deeper economic challenges, ranging from a collapsing real-estate sector to high levels of youth unemployment.
