On the afternoon of January 4, a province-wide video conference on investment coordination was held in Guangzhou to discuss and deploy investment initiatives for 2026, with the aim of sparing no effort to drive robust investment growth throughout the year and ensure a strong start to the first quarter. The meeting emphasized that all localities and departments must approach investment work with extraordinary thinking, extraordinary intensity, and extraordinary measures. They should focus on key projects, identify critical stages, establish reverse timelines, and refine action plans to ensure that annual and quarterly investment plans are meticulously developed and implemented, with work objectives anchored to specific projects. Efforts must be made to effectively utilize various funding sources, including new policy-based financial instruments, ultra-long-term special government bonds, central budgetary investments, and special-purpose bonds. The "investment-bond-loan linkage" mechanism should be further advanced to fully leverage the multiplier effect of these funds. (People’s Government of Guangdong Province)
