外汇局：16省市开展绿色外债业务试点

Group 1 - The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) has decided to launch a pilot program for green foreign debt in 16 provinces and cities, encouraging non-financial enterprises to use cross-border financing for green or low-carbon transformation projects [1][3] - The pilot policy specifically targets domestic non-financial enterprises borrowing funds from non-residents, allowing these projects to occupy less of the enterprise's overall cross-border financing risk-weighted balance, thereby expanding the financing scale limit for green development or low-carbon transformation projects [3] - SAFE aims to enhance the convenience of green foreign debt business processing through direct bank registration, which will help attract global financial resources to China's green and low-carbon development sectors [3] Group 2 - The next steps for SAFE include better coordination of openness and security, continuously improving the convenience of cross-border financing, and supporting high-quality development of the real economy [3]
