Shanghai’s Huangpu district government issued a 15th Five-Year state-asset and SOE reform plan to boost asset operation and financing. The plan backs lawful use of capital-market refinancing to strengthen supply chains, calls for activating existing assets, and seeks to build a receive–revive–inject model that injects eligible assets into district SOEs and listed companies to improve operating efficiency and open asset, funding and capital channels. It mandates strengthening the state-asset management platform and partnering with specialist firms to use bad-asset acquisition/disposal, substantive restructurings and market-based debt-to-equity swaps to unlock idle or low-efficiency assets. The plan also encourages district firms to securitize assets and study REITs backed by commercial complexes, industrial parks and affordable rental housing to raise state capital securitization levels.
