The State Administration of Financial Supervision: Increase support for the construction of rural revitalization zones, and encourage banking institutions to introduce special credit discount policies.

People’s Financial News, April 8—The National Financial Regulatory Administration has recently issued the “Notice by the General Office of the National Financial Regulatory Administration on Doing a Good Job in Financial Support for Rural Comprehensive Revitalization in 2026.” The notice calls for effective support for rural development and urban-rural integration.

It will step up support for the development of rural revitalization zones, and encourage banking institutions to introduce special credit preferential policies. It will steadily intensify financial support in areas such as the construction and maintenance of rural small-scale water diversion and transfer projects, power grid supply and electricity upgrade/retrofitting, coverage of charging facilities, road renovations, logistics and communications, and improvements and management of living environments.

It will explore effective ways to provide financial support for urban-rural integration and for new-type urbanization that uses counties as an important carrier, and promote integrated delivery of urban-rural infrastructure and basic public services.
