MOFCOM and eight other ministries issued guidance to accelerate retail-sector innovation and provide financing support. Key measures: back IPOs for eligible new, high-quality retail firms; permit qualified retail operators to issue asset-backed securities (ABS) and commercial REITs; encourage financial institutions to offer retail-tailored industry credit policies; extend service-sector loan interest-subsidy schemes to eligible retail borrowers. The guidance also supports eligible department stores, shopping centers, community retail and wet-market projects issuing infrastructure REITs, and calls for increased financing for energy-saving, decarbonization and digital upgrades of facilities and equipment, subject to legal compliance and controllable risk.(金十数据)
