The reporter learned on the 18th that the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) recently took the lead in issuing the Notice on Credit Supporting the Shortcomings and Weaknesses of County Urbanization (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"), specifying that credit support should be increased in key areas such as supporting facilities for county industrial platforms and new infrastructure in counties.
According to the notice, the support areas focus on county towns and county-level urban areas, especially the 12 demonstration areas of new urbanization construction in county towns, taking into account the mega-towns where the permanent population of towns is more than 1,, and the municipal districts of cities at or above the prefecture level formed by the "county reform area" and "city reform area" since 215.
specific to the areas of support, the notice is clear. First, the supporting facilities of the county industrial platform. Support the industrial platform public facilities construction projects with reasonable location layout and high factor concentration, and support the public facilities construction projects of key parks and county industrial transformation and upgrading demonstration parks in the industrial transformation and upgrading demonstration zone.
the second is the new infrastructure in the county. Support a new generation of information infrastructure construction projects, including the construction of 5G networks, the Internet of Things, the Internet of Vehicles and the expansion of backbone networks. Support the digital transformation projects of municipal public facilities, including the transformation of terminal systems in the fields of transportation, public security and water, electricity and heat. Support big data facilities construction projects, including the construction of intensive data centers, supply chain digital platforms and industrial digital platforms. Support network security protection system construction projects.
third, other infrastructure in the county. Including supporting environmental sanitation facilities construction projects, municipal public facilities construction projects, business circulation facilities construction projects, etc.
supporting policies, including arranging special credit lines. The head offices of the six banks arrange a certain amount of credit lines each year, which are specially used to support the strong and weak projects of urbanization in county towns. Implement preferential credit policies. Six banks refer to the loan market quotation rate (LPR), and implement preferential interest rates for the loans of strong and weak projects that make up the shortcomings of urbanization in county towns. According to the actual needs of the project, medium and long-term loans of no more than 2 years are given in principle. In addition, strengthen financial support. For eligible projects, priority can be given to financial funds or local government special bonds through direct investment, capital injection, investment subsidies, loan interest subsidies, etc., so as to promote the matching of the operating cash flow of the project with the loan conditions. By increasing the proportion of local government special bonds as project capital, all regions have strengthened the matching connection with the credit supply of six banks. Conditional cities and counties can set up policy risk compensation funds or guarantee companies to provide credit enhancement services for borrowers' financing.
