China is considering allowing another 1 trillion yuan ($161 billion) of local government debt swaps, according to people familiar with the matter.

The plan has yet to be finalized because the Ministry of Finance needs to discuss it with the National People’s Congress and seek State Council approval, the people said Tuesday, asking not to be identified because the talks are private.
