July 21, 2026 — Agricultural Bank of China said at a mid-year expanded party
committee meeting it will prioritize risk prevention while accelerating H2

modernization and deepen rural revitalization services; increase credit and
product coverage for manufacturing quality upgrades and technology innovation
