Shanghai will expand financing for aircraft, ships and core components, allowing
qualified banks to provide cross-border and offshore syndicated loans and
enabling eligible financing and financial leasing firms to set up SPVs to
conduct leasing. The city will upgrade the Lingang New Area one‑stop
financing‑leasing platform and encourage shipping companies to tap multi‑tier
capital markets and explore industry funds to diversify funding channels.
Financial institutions will be supported to use electronic documents recorded
on‑chain and cross‑matching to provide verification for settlement, financing
and insurance in shipping trade. Eligible shipping firms may establish global or
regional cash management centres to centralise onshore management of domestic
and foreign funds; authorities will improve cross‑border RMB usability and
payment efficiency and guide shipping‑chain firms to prioritise RMB pricing or
settlement.
