China's Ministry of Finance will issue 300 billion yuan (about 44.7 billion U.S. dollars) in special treasury bonds to replenish the core tier-one capital of eight central financial enterprises, a move aimed at enhancing their capacity for sound operations, strengthening risk resilience and improving their ability to serve the real economy, according to statements released on Sunday.
The capital injection for the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the Agricultural Bank of China follows last year's capital infusion into four major state-owned commercial banks, the statements said.
The plan will also channel funds to two policy-backed institutions -- the Export-Import Bank of China and China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation -- to bolster their capacity to support key economic sectors and high-level opening-up.
In addition, four state-owned insurance groups, including the People's Insurance Company of China, China Life Insurance, China Taiping Insurance Group, and China Reinsurance Group, will receive fresh capital to improve their solvency margins and underwriting capacity.

China's appropriately accommodative monetary policy continued to deliver results in the third quarter, while the quality and effect of financial sector serving the real economy continued to improve, said the third-quarter monetary policy report released by the People's Bank of China (PBOC) on Wednesday.
The PBOC, China's central bank, said in the report that the country's credit structure continued to optimize in the third quarter.
At the end of September, loans to the technology, green, inclusive finance, elderly care and digital economy sectors grew 12.0 percent, 13.0 percent, 6.5 percent, 16.2 percent and 15.7 percent year on year, respectively, all continuing to outpace overall loan growth.
Financing costs across the economy remained low, the report showed, with new corporate loans in September carrying rates slightly below 3.0 percent and new personal housing loans around three percent.
The yuan exchange rate remained basically stable at a reasonable and balanced level. At the end of September, the yuan closed at 6.7053 per U.S. dollar, appreciating 4.1 percent from the end of 2025.
Looking ahead, the PBOC said it will continue to implement the appropriately accommodative monetary policy, comprehensively use and adjust monetary policy tools as appropriate, and guide the growth of social financing and money supply to match economic growth and the expected target for overall prices.
The central bank will seek to create a suitable monetary and financial environment for stable economic growth, high-quality development and the smooth operation of financial markets.
