The People’s Bank of China and other ministries issued Guiding Opinions on financial support for building international science-and-technology innovation centers in Beijing (Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei), Shanghai (Yangtze River Delta) and the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area. The guidance targets the hubs’ core functions and international positioning and proposes targeted financial measures to support tech-innovation origination, lead high-end industries and concentrate top talent. It directs optimization of financial service models and supporting mechanisms, stronger intra-regional financial coordination via policy linkage, mutual recognition of standards, information sharing and infrastructure connectivity, and calls for actively but prudently promoting high-level opening of tech finance to overseas markets.
