China has issued more than 93 billion yuan, equivalent to about 13.4 billion dollars, in ultra long term treasury bonds as part of a renewed push to support economic growth and stimulate domestic investment.
The move was announced by the National Development and Reform Commission and is aimed at funding equipment upgrades across key sectors including industry, energy, education, healthcare and infrastructure. The bond issuance forms part of Beijing’s broader economic strategy for 2026 as policymakers seek to shore up growth amid weakening demand and persistent structural pressures.
Officials say the funds will be directed toward modernizing production capacity, improving energy efficiency and strengthening public services, with the goal of boosting productivity and long term economic resilience. Ultra long term bonds are increasingly being used by China to finance strategic priorities without placing immediate strain on annual budgets.
The latest issuance underscores China’s reliance on domestic investment as an engine of growth at a time when external demand remains uncertain and the property sector continues to weigh on the economy. Analysts say the move signals Beijing’s determination to stabilize growth while avoiding aggressive short term stimulus measures.
The bond program is also being closely watched by global markets, as China’s economic performance has significant implications for commodity demand, supply chains and overall global growth prospects.
