Beijing, February 12: According to a report released by the China Development Bank (CDB) on Wednesday, the bank issued loans totaling 16.4 trillion yuan in 2025. This funding primarily supported infrastructure development across five key areas: networks, industrial upgrades, urban development, agriculture, and national security.

In the realm of network and industrial upgrades, CDB-backed projects include the launch of the Guangzhou-Chenjiang High-Speed Rail and the acceleration of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project (Middle Route). The bank also promoted the construction of the “East Data, West Computing” project to support the development of national integrated computing power network hubs.

Regarding urban, agricultural, and rural infrastructure, CDB focused on projects such as urban underground pipeline networks, urban rail transport, and public infrastructure. These initiatives are designed to enhance urban renewal and improve ecological management. Additionally, the bank expedited loans for high-standard agricultural land, modern agricultural facilities, and large-scale water supply projects, contributing to better living standards in rural areas.

The head of CDB’s Development and Planning Department stated that the next steps involve leveraging strategic and significant projects as a driving force, innovating market-oriented investment and financing models for infrastructure, assisting in the upgrading and digitization of traditional infrastructure, and supporting the construction of new infrastructure with a visionary approach to expand effective investments.
