According to a Xinhua report on September 24, the China Export-Import Bank (Exim Bank) announced that since September, its new policy-based financial instruments have funded 123 projects totaling over 22 billion yuan (approximately $3.1 billion). All funds were directed to private investment or projects involving private capital, expected to leverage total project investment exceeding 400 billion yuan. This follows the 2026 government work report's plan to issue 800 billion yuan in new policy financial tools to attract more social capital. On August 28, the National Development and Reform Commission urged accelerated fund deployment. The bank highlighted three characteristics: a focus on private investment projects, nearly 60% (13 billion yuan) directed to emerging industries like AI and digital economy, and about two-thirds (15 billion yuan) allocated to 11 economically large provinces including Zhejiang, Fujian, and Shandong. Exim Bank stated it will continue to accelerate deployment to meet annual targets, supporting investment stability, new growth drivers, and economic restructuring.
