On December 12, the Export-Import Bank of China held an enlarged meeting of its Party Committee in Beijing to convey and study the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference and, in accordance with the requirements of the National Financial System Work Conference, to study and deploy measures for implementation. Party Secretary and Chairman Chen Huaiyu presided over the meeting and delivered a speech; other Party Committee members attended the meeting.
The meeting held that General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the Central Economic Work Conference was profound in thought and rich in content. Standing at the strategic height of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation, he made a deep insight into the domestic and international situation, continuously deepened his understanding of the laws governing economic work, and made a clear strategic deployment for economic work in the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan". It is the latest achievement of the Sinicization of Marxist political economy and provides fundamental guidance for creating a new situation of Chinese-style modernization.
The meeting pointed out that this year marks the conclusion of the 14th Five-Year Plan. The CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has united and led the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups across the country to overcome difficulties and strive forward, propelling the giant ship of the Chinese economy forward fearlessly through storms and waves, demonstrating strong resilience and vitality. The entire bank must deeply understand the tremendous achievements made in my country's economic and social development this year and during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, profoundly grasp the decisive significance of the "two establishments," strengthen the "Four Consciousnesses," firm up the "Four Confidences," and achieve the "Two Upholds."
The meeting emphasized that studying and implementing the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference should be taken as a major political task for the present and future. It stressed the need to accurately grasp the current economic situation and key objectives, closely focus on the main theme of financial work, identify the points of convergence and entry points for the work of the Export-Import Bank of China, and effectively and efficiently carry out the key tasks for 2026.
First, we must resolutely implement national macroeconomic policies. We must fully tap into economic potential, increase counter-cyclical and cross-cyclical adjustments, adhere to domestic demand as the main driver, continue to leverage new policy-based financial tools, and effectively stimulate private investment. We must adhere to innovation-driven development, optimize science and technology financial services, promote the deep integration of technological and industrial innovation, and cultivate new types of productive forces. We must provide timely assistance, continuously improve quality and expand coverage, and wholeheartedly support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and other real economy enterprises.
Second, we will make every effort to promote high-level opening up. We must focus on our core responsibilities and main businesses, leverage our unique advantages, support the high-standard construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port, and promote the integrated development of trade and investment, as well as domestic and foreign trade. We will support the expansion of digital trade and green trade, and help achieve balanced development of imports and exports. We will guide the rational and orderly cross-border layout of industrial and supply chains, and promote high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative.
Third, we must actively serve the development of the real economy. We should proactively align with major national and local strategic plans for the 15th Five-Year Plan period, promote coordinated regional development, and support economically strong provinces in taking on leading roles. We must adhere to the "dual-carbon" principle, support the construction of a new energy system, and promote a comprehensive green transformation. We should guide and support the optimization and upgrading of the economic structure and industrial layout, helping to enhance the resilience and competitiveness of my country's economy.
Fourth, we must continuously consolidate the foundation for high-quality development. We need to deepen reforms, implement comprehensive and meticulous management, improve corporate governance capabilities, and enhance internal driving forces. We must coordinate development and security, prevent and resolve risks in key areas, and firmly safeguard against systemic financial risks.
Fifth, we must continue to strengthen the Party's overall leadership over financial work. We must earnestly study, deeply understand, and thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions and directives, as well as the decisions and plans of the Party Central Committee, establish and practice a correct view of performance, and persistently promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party and the financial sector.
The meeting emphasized that the entire bank should coordinate efforts to complete this year's tasks, plan for next year's work, and formulate the Export-Import Bank's "15th Five-Year Plan." It stressed the need to maintain confidence, leverage advantages, and address challenges to continuously consolidate and expand the positive momentum of economic growth, striving to create a new landscape of high-quality development for policy-based finance while serving the overall work of the Party and the country.
