2. the equipment renewal projects currently pushed have basically achieved "full coverage" of financing docking and due diligence, with a cumulative signed loan amount of 230 billion yuan and a weighted average interest rate of 3.1%, which is 25 basis points lower than the 1-year lpr rate (3.35%);

3. the ministry of finance has allocated rmb 20 billion in interest subsidies for equipment renewal loans, and has disbursed the first batch of rmb 8 billion in interest subsidies;

4. further strengthen fund supervision and management, and work with relevant departments to severely deal with acts of subsidy fraud, subsidy duplication, and misappropriation of funds in some places in accordance with the law.

300 billion yuan of national debt funds have been fully allocated

zhao chenxin introduced that the 300 billion yuan of national debt funds to support the "two new" work have been fully allocated.

specifically, in terms of equipment renewal, the national development and reform commission, together with relevant departments, optimized the support methods and simplified the approval process in accordance with the principle of "local review and national re-examination", and screened out more than 4,600 qualified equipment renewal projects. the 150 billion yuan of national debt funds in the field of equipment renewal have been allocated to the projects in two batches in accordance with relevant regulations and procedures. in terms of old-for-new consumer goods, the national development and reform commission, together with the ministry of finance, comprehensively considered factors such as the permanent population, regional gdp, and the number of cars and home appliances in various regions to reasonably determine the scale of financial support. the 150 billion yuan of national debt funds in the field of old-for-new consumer goods have been fully allocated to local governments since early august.

in march this year, the state council issued the "action plan to promote large-scale equipment updates and trade-in of old consumer goods", which made comprehensive arrangements for the "two new" work; in july, with the approval of the state council, the national development and reform commission and the ministry of finance jointly issued the "several measures on further supporting large-scale equipment updates and trade-in of old consumer goods" (hereinafter referred to as the "measures"), which clearly stated that the national development and reform commission will take the lead in arranging about 300 billion yuan of ultra-long-term special treasury bonds to further support the "two new" work.

equipment renewal projects have basically achieved "full coverage" of financing docking

in terms of financial support, in april this year, the people's bank of china, together with the national development and reform commission and other departments, created a re-loan for scientific and technological innovation and technological transformation, with a scale of 500 billion yuan and an interest rate of 1.75%. among them, 100 billion yuan was allocated to support the "first loan" of start-up and growth-stage technology-based smes; 400 billion yuan was allocated to support equipment renewal and technological transformation projects in key areas, and it was emphasized that priority support would be given to related projects reported by smes.

peng lifeng said that since the implementation of the re-lending policy tool, relevant departments have pushed three batches of 13,000 alternative projects to banking institutions; the equipment renewal projects currently pushed have basically achieved "full coverage" of financing matching and due diligence, with a total signed loan amount of 230 billion yuan and a weighted average interest rate of 3.1%, 25 basis points lower than the one-year lpr rate (3.35%).

"according to our statistics, 70% of the funds are used to support small and medium-sized enterprises." peng lifeng said that in the next step, more projects of private enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises, and agricultural entities should be included in the shortlist, and measures such as increasing support for financing guarantees and risk compensation should be taken to make good use of re-loans for scientific and technological innovation and technological transformation, and vigorously support technological transformation and equipment renewal projects in key areas.

in terms of fiscal support, in addition to the timely issuance of ultra-long-term special government bonds, zhao changsheng also pointed out that the ministry of finance has allocated the first batch of equipment renewal loan interest subsidy funds.

"the central finance has optimized the fund application process and allocated interest subsidy funds to provincial finances in advance. provincial finances allocate interest subsidy funds to banks on a quarterly basis. banks directly deduct the funds when collecting interest, and business entities can enjoy preferential interest rates without having to apply." zhao changsheng said that the ministry of finance has arranged 20 billion yuan in interest subsidy funds for equipment renewal loans, and has currently allocated the first installment of 8 billion yuan in interest subsidy funds to boost the enthusiasm of business entities for equipment renewal and accelerate equipment renewal and technological transformation.

according to the measures, the central government’s interest subsidy will be increased from 1 percentage point to 1.5 percentage points, the subsidy period will be 2 years, and the total subsidy amount will be 20 billion yuan.

on the other hand, zhao chenxin said that the supervision and management of funds should be further strengthened. the national development and reform commission has formulated the management measures for the ultra-long-term special treasury bonds to support the "two new" funds, clarifying the full-chain management regulations to ensure that the funds are truly used for the "two new" work.

"we will work with relevant departments to implement the measures, and through joint research and supervision, focus on investigating the use and management of funds in various regions and fields to ensure that the funds are in line with the investment destination. for acts of subsidy fraud, subsidy duplication, squeezing and misappropriation of funds in some places, we will work with relevant departments to deal with them seriously in accordance with the law." zhao chenxin said.
