People's Bank of China Guangdong Branch: the issuance scale of interbank science and technology innovation bonds exceeded 140 billion yuan.

On April 23, the People's Bank of China Guangdong Branch held a press conference on the financial situation of Guangdong Province in the first quarter of 2026, introducing relevant financial statistics. It is reported that in May 2025, the People's Bank of China and the China Securities Regulatory Commission jointly issued a notice on supporting the issuance of technology innovation bonds, supporting three types of institutions - financial institutions, technology-based enterprises, and private equity and venture capital institutions to issue technology innovation bonds. Since the release of the new policy on science and technology innovation bonds, what achievements has the bond market's "technology board" in Guangdong made and how will it continue to advance? In response to this, Zhang Shuangzhang, Vice President of the People's Bank of China Guangdong Branch, stated in response to questions from Southern Finance journalists that the People's Bank of China Headquarters, along with relevant departments, launched the "technology board" in the bond market with the aim of better supporting technology innovation. Over the past year, the People's Bank of China Guangdong Branch has focused on implementing the "technology board" policy in Guangdong, enabling more financial institutions, technology-based enterprises, and equity investment institutions to raise funds and support technology innovation more effectively in the bond market. As of the end of the first quarter of this year, a total of 41 entities, including 8 financial institutions, 22 technology-based enterprises, and 11 equity investment institutions in the province, have issued over 140 billion yuan of technology innovation bonds in the interbank market, achieving "full coverage" of the three types of entities.
