Hong Kong chief executive John Lee announced plans to launch a delivery link with the Shanghai Gold Exchange.

Anhui provincial financial office deputy director Ma Xianxian said the province will implement its fiscal-financial coordination plan, tightening alignment between fiscal and financial policy and expanding support measures including interest/fee subsidies and risk compensation. The province will leverage government financing guarantees to enhance credit and risk-sharing, launch a product matrix of 'no-application' lending, guarantees and insurance, and broaden its fund ecosystem. An integrated invest–lend–guarantee–insure–subsidize mechanism is intended to create a fiscal-led, finance-amplified, market-operated transmission chain and a financial services system covering the full tech-innovation chain and technology firms' lifecycle.
