On September 21, the Shandong Provincial People's Government Information Office held a policy briefing, inviting officials from the provincial finance department to explain the 'Several Measures on Fiscal and Financial Coordination to Boost Domestic Demand.' The measures aim to stabilize expectations and stimulate domestic demand and growth through three dimensions: cost reduction, increased investment, and environment optimization. On the cost reduction front, the policy optimizes personal consumption loan subsidies, offering a 1 percentage point interest subsidy on personal consumption loans. An individual can receive up to 5,000 yuan in fiscal subsidies per year from one bank. On the investment side, the measures leverage investment funds to guide social capital into digital and green consumption sectors via 'long-term capital' and 'patient capital' to support long-cycle consumption industries. To improve the environment, the policy deepens the 'financial chain anchor' mechanism for 19 key industrial chains, allocates special quotas for relending and rediscounting, promotes rapid financial access to grassroots levels, and launches actions to directly connect financial services with private enterprises, aiming to foster a positive interaction between consumption, investment, supply, and demand.

Increasing Investment
The policy leverages the role of investment funds to guide and attract social capital to participate in emerging consumption sectors such as digital and green consumption through market-based approaches. By utilizing "long-term capital" and "patient capital," the policy supports the development of long-cycle consumer industries.
Optimizing the Environment
The following measures will be implemented to promote a positive interaction between consumption and investment, as well as between supply and demand:
- Deepening the "financial chain leader" mechanism across 19 flagship industrial chains.
- Allocating dedicated quotas for relending and rediscounting.
