At an NDRC briefing on Sept. 29, the PBOC said it is leading eight ministries to
draft Guiding Opinions on Financial Support for Service‑Sector Capacity
Expansion and Quality Improvement. The draft outlines policy requirements across
four dimensions, calls for a lifecycle risk‑assessment and pricing framework
tailored to the service sector’s small scale and intangible‑asset profile, and
urges financial product innovation focused on service firms’ operating
characteristics and funding needs. It also prioritizes payment‑service
improvements and payment facilitation, steady progress on high‑level financial
opening, support for outbound activity, and stronger consumer and investor
protection; the PBOC said it will work with other agencies to improve the
targeting, fit and effectiveness of financial services to better support
service‑sector expansion and quality upgrades.
