China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission: Steadily increase investment in agricultural finance.

The China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission has issued a "Notice on the Financial Support for the Comprehensive Revitalization of Rural Areas in 2026." The notice requires a steady increase in financial support for agriculture. Agricultural Development Bank and large and medium-sized commercial banks are required to continue to set aside separate agricultural credit plans, strive to achieve the goal of continuous growth in agricultural loan balances of the same caliber as the beginning of the year, increase credit investment in key grain areas, and promote stable, high-quality, structured, and sustainable agricultural credit investment. Large and medium-sized commercial banks are required to focus on balanced regional development, coordinate the arrangement of credit plans in eastern, central, and western regions, and strive to achieve continuous growth in inclusive agricultural loan balances at the beginning of the year. Financial regulatory authorities are required to study the economic development situation within their jurisdiction, set differentiated targets for growth in agricultural loans and inclusive agricultural loans based on the operational and risk situations of local corporate banks, and strive to achieve overall growth targets for agricultural loans and inclusive agricultural loans among local corporate banks. It is necessary to strengthen daily coaching and training for branch offices, and guide them in carrying out key tasks in the inclusive banking line.
