The State Council has issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for Accelerating Agricultural and Rural Modernization." The plan outlines measures to improve the investment mechanism for agriculture and rural development.
It calls for establishing a diversified investment framework where fiscal expenditure takes the lead, financial resources are strategically allocated, and social participation is actively encouraged. This aims to ensure continuously increasing investment in rural revitalization.
Agriculture and rural areas are designated as priority sectors for general public budget support. The plan emphasizes utilizing funding channels such as central government budget investment and local government bonds effectively.
It also stresses strengthening oversight of rural revitalization funds across the entire process, strictly investigating and dealing with issues like fraud and misappropriation to enhance the effectiveness of fiscal support policies and the efficiency of fund utilization.
Key Financial Measures
The document highlights improving the rural financial service system. Key actions include increasing the provision of medium- and long-term loans for the agricultural and rural sectors.
It also promotes the development of rural digital inclusive finance and advances the construction of a rural credit system.
Insurance and Investment Initiatives
The plan underscores the role of agricultural insurance in providing risk protection. It supports the development of insurance for local specialty agricultural products and aims to improve claims settlement efficiency.
Furthermore, the plan guides private investment to participate in rural revitalization in a lawful, standardized, and orderly manner. It seeks to diversify the ways capital markets serve agricultural entities.
Encouragement is given to establishing rural revitalization funds through market-oriented mechanisms and supporting eligible enterprises in issuing bonds to finance projects in the rural revitalization sector.
