The first water conservation loan landed in Harbin City by Harbin Bank (06138)

Recently, HARBIN BANK (06138) successfully launched the first "water-saving loan" project in Harbin, issuing a special loan of 380 million yuan to Harbin Water Supply Group Co., Ltd. The loan is specifically for enterprise water-saving technology transformation and equipment upgrade work, helping to comprehensively improve the efficiency of urban water resource utilization and water-saving capabilities of the water supply system, and promote the upgrading of the urban water supply system. The implementation of this "water-saving loan" is a proactive response by HARBIN BANK to the requirements of the Water Resources Department of Heilongjiang Province and the People's Bank of China Heilongjiang Branch for carrying out "water-saving loan" financing services, deepening cooperation between government, banks, and enterprises, and empowering the development of the water-saving industry through green finance. With the careful guidance and strong support of the Harbin Water Bureau and the People's Bank of China Heilongjiang Branch, HARBIN BANK has tailored a customized financing plan for Harbin Water Supply Group through its three-tiered mechanism to provide financial support for the purchase of high-efficiency water-saving valves, smart water meters, leak-proof pipe fittings, and other high-quality water-saving materials. This loan not only supports the innovation practice of financial support for water-saving, but also explores new ideas for financial support in the water-saving sector. As the largest local financial institution in Heilongjiang Province, HARBIN BANK has always adhered to its local roots, integrating its own business development into the overall local economic and social landscape, and firmly taking the path of "high-quality, sustainable" development. The bank has continued to deepen its presence and innovate in the field of green finance. Previously, the bank has implemented several innovative green finance projects, such as the first "carbon emission + carbon credit" linkage loan in Harbin, the first "Longjiang Green Carbon" pledge loan project in Heilongjiang Province, the first commercial bank loan for "ecological restoration of historical abandoned mines" in Heilongjiang Province, and the first biodiversity sustainable development linkage loan in Heilongjiang Province, to continuously empower regional green development through financial innovation. By the end of 2025, the bank's loan balance in Heilongjiang province had reached 234.9 billion yuan, injecting strong financial impetus into local economic and social development.
