Chinese Premier Li Qiang has doubled down on strengthening financial support for the real economy, calling it a 'high-stakes chess game' for sustainable growth. Speaking at a national conference in Beijing, Li emphasized modernizing China's financial systems while prioritizing tech innovation, eco-friendly projects, and retirement security.
🛠️ Building a Future-Proof Financial Playbook
Li urged financial institutions to turbocharge funding for five key areas: technology (think AI and green energy), inclusive programs for small businesses, digital finance, pension systems, and climate-friendly investments. The goal? To create what he called a 'safety net' against risks in real estate and local government debt.
🔒 Risk Check: No Room for 'Wild West' Markets
He Lifeng, a top CPC official, warned against financial loopholes, stressing a crackdown on illegal activities. The message was clear: Protect the system from domino effects, especially in small banks and regional economies.
