With the official implementation of the full-island customs closure operation of the Hainan Free Trade Port, financial opening and innovation have ushered in a historic opportunity. As a nationwide joint-stock commercial bank, Bohai Bank is accelerating its strategic layout in Hainan, fully integrating into the wave of free trade port construction through multi-dimensional measures such as deepening government-bank cooperation, strengthening compliance foundation, focusing on industrial finance, and joining hands with core enterprises, and is committed to providing high-quality and comprehensive financial support for the free trade port after customs closure.
It is understood that Bohai Bank has elevated its Haikou branch to a strategic pivot point, fully aligning with the financial needs of the Hainan Free Trade Port. Wang Jinhong, Party Secretary and Chairman of the Board, stated during a recent research visit that Bohai Bank will fully leverage its resources and license advantages as a national bank to focus on supporting Hainan, particularly Haikou, in areas such as municipal infrastructure, resolution of hidden government debt, special bond financing, major industrial projects, and industrial funds.
In line with the Party Central Committee's strategic positioning of Hainan as a "three zones and one center," Bohai Bank is deeply embedding its financial services into the development of key industries in the Hainan Free Trade Port. The bank focuses on the port's leading industrial clusters, including biomedicine, the digital economy, and advanced manufacturing, and proactively engages with frontline locations such as Haikou Pharmaceutical Valley and Fuxingcheng Industrial Park. It systematically analyzes the financial needs of biomedicine companies seeking R&D and international expansion, as well as the "lightweight" business models of the digital economy and cross-border e-commerce. Leveraging the tax and value-added processing policies of the Free Trade Port, Bohai Bank is committed to innovating its financial service models, designing customized solutions covering the entire chain, including credit support, cross-border settlement, and exchange rate risk management, effectively transforming policy benefits into driving forces for industrial development.
Meanwhile, Bohai Bank recently signed a headquarters-level strategic cooperation agreement with Hainan Provincial Development Holdings Co., Ltd., and reached a consensus on in-depth cooperation with Hainan State Farms Investment Holdings Group Co., Ltd. Leveraging its expertise in M&A finance, syndicated loans, bond underwriting, cross-border finance, and "Bohai Bank Hedging," Bohai Bank will fully participate in Hainan Holdings' airport operations, urban development, and duty-free consumption businesses, as well as Hainan State Farms Group's development in areas such as state farm renewal, modern agriculture, and cross-border trade. Through a "headquarters-to-head" cooperation model, they will jointly explore innovative paths to serve the Hainan Free Trade Port.
While seizing opportunities and accelerating its expansion, Bohai Bank has always prioritized compliance and risk management. Wang Jinhong, Party Secretary and Chairman of the Board, stated that Bohai Bank will strictly implement national laws and regulations and continuously improve its comprehensive risk management system. In the future, its business in Hainan will always adhere to the political and people-oriented nature of financial work, focusing on its core responsibilities and core businesses, and deeply developing five key areas: technology finance, green finance, inclusive finance, pension finance, and digital finance. It will guide financial resources precisely towards key areas such as technological innovation, green transformation, and inclusive finance for micro and small enterprises.
Amidst a sea of sails racing, those who row hardest will emerge victorious. Against the backdrop of the full-scale launch of the Hainan Free Trade Port, Bohai Bank, with a clear strategic vision, multi-layered business layout, and unwavering execution, is actively deploying its resources and exerting comprehensive efforts. From top-level strategic coordination to in-depth cultivation of grassroots industries, Bohai Bank is gradually building a comprehensive and open financial service ecosystem. Looking to the future, Bohai Bank will continue to precisely nourish the fertile land of Hainan with its financial resources, growing and progressing alongside Hainan in the new journey of the Free Trade Port's construction, and continuously writing a new chapter in serving the nation's high-level opening-up through finance.
