FTZ tries to pump more funds into Belt and Road projects
Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone will provide direct financing for Chinese companies with projects in Belt and Road countries, the zone officials said recently.
Last year, FTZ-registered companies filed 492 overseas investment projects, involving US$19.59 billion of investment from China.
“Belt and Road development projects require a massive amount of long-term funds. But companies only get indirect financing or bank loans for their projects,” said Zhang Danian, chief Shanghai representative of Baker & Mckenzie’s.
