On December 12, the Party Committee of the Bank of China held an enlarged meeting to convey and study the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, and, in conjunction with the requirements of the National Financial System Work Conference, to study and deploy measures for the Bank of China to implement these measures. Ge Haijiao, Party Secretary and Chairman, presided over the meeting and delivered a speech.
The meeting pointed out that General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the Central Economic Work Conference was far-sighted, broad in vision, and profound in thought. It represents a further deepening of the Party's understanding of the laws governing economic work, enriches and develops Xi Jinping's economic thought, and provides scientific guidance and fundamental principles for economic work next year and in the future. The achievements of national economic development in 2025 were hard-won and inspiring, fundamentally due to the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, and the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The entire bank must earnestly study, deeply understand, accurately grasp, and fully implement the CPC Central Committee's ideas, tasks, and policies regarding next year's economic work. We must strengthen our confidence, vigorously implement policies, deeply practice the political and people-oriented nature of financial work, and focus on the main line of preventing financial risks, strengthening supervision, and promoting high-quality development. We must effectively and efficiently carry out the 2026 business management work, and take concrete actions to firmly uphold the "two establishments" and resolutely achieve the "two safeguards."
The meeting emphasized the need to focus on the "eight key tasks" and grasp the "five key areas of focus" to ensure the thorough implementation and effective execution of the Party Central Committee's decisions and plans. It stressed the importance of actively cooperating in the implementation of the special action to boost consumption and the urban and rural residents' income increase plan, comprehensively meeting the diverse consumption needs of residents, deeply supporting "new infrastructure" and "major projects," and contributing to the construction of a strong domestic market. The meeting also emphasized comprehensively addressing the "five major aspects" of finance, strengthening support for the development of new productive forces tailored to local conditions, actively supporting the intelligent, green, and integrated development of a modern industrial system, and contributing to the comprehensive green and low-carbon transformation of the economy and society and the cultivation of new growth drivers. Furthermore, the meeting called for accelerating the enhancement of global layout capabilities and international competitiveness, actively serving the high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road," the construction of free trade zones (ports), and the integrated development of trade and investment, accelerating the international use of the RMB, and contributing to deepening reform and opening up. It also stressed the need to increase financial support for key areas and weak links such as small and medium-sized enterprises, private enterprises, and agriculture, promoting urban-rural integration and regional cooperation. Finally, the meeting emphasized upholding the original aspiration of "finance for the people," continuously improving the accessibility and convenience of financial services, increasing financial security and improvement of people's livelihoods, and contributing to enhancing people's well-being. We must coordinate high-quality development with high-level security, continuously enhance compliance and risk awareness, and persistently prevent and resolve risks in key areas, serving as a ballast stone for maintaining financial stability. We must deeply practice a financial culture with Chinese characteristics, strengthen positive publicity, and promote a bright outlook for the Chinese economy.
The meeting emphasized the need to consistently uphold the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee over financial work, and to thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions and directives, as well as the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee. It stressed the importance of firmly establishing and practicing a correct view of performance and achievements, and making every effort to promote high-quality development. The meeting also emphasized the need to persistently advance the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, and to ensure the normalization and long-term effectiveness of the rectification of issues identified in the central inspection. It stressed the importance of simultaneously addressing Party spirit, Party conduct, and Party discipline, and integrating the rectification of conduct, discipline, and anti-corruption efforts, relentlessly implementing the spirit of the Central Committee's Eight-Point Regulation, and creating a clean and upright political environment. Finally, the meeting called for aligning with the "Suggestions" of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee and developing a high-quality "15th Five-Year Plan" for the Group.
The meeting emphasized the need to coordinate and effectively carry out key tasks at the end of the year and the beginning of the new year.
