Guangdong’s science and technology loan balance exceeds 6.7 trillion yuan

China News Service, Guangzhou, October 23 (Reporters: Fang Weibin and Wang Jian) ​​As of the end of September 2026, the balance of science and technology loans in Guangdong Province exceeded 6.7 trillion yuan (RMB, the same below), a year-on-year increase of 17%; the balance of manufacturing loans was 4.2 trillion yuan, with a growth rate of 16.3%.

The Information Office of the Guangdong Provincial People's Government held a press conference on the 23rd to announce the latest results of Guangdong's science and technology finance in promoting high-quality development, and announced that the "2026 Guangdong Science and Technology Finance Week" will be held from October 26 to November 1.

The reporter learned from the meeting that since the beginning of this year, Guangdong has added 52 domestic and overseas listed companies, with IPO financing exceeding 180 billion yuan, ranking first in the country in both quantity and amount. The province has issued a total of more than 1.156 billion yuan in discount loans to manufacturing and high-tech enterprises, benefiting more than 54,000 enterprises.

Guangdong promotes the establishment of a provincial strategic emerging industry investment guidance fund with a total scale of 100 billion yuan, forming a trillion-level fund matrix. The first batch of demonstration cases will be released during the Science and Technology Finance Week, showing new trends such as the shift in financial services from "single tool" to "combination relay" and the shift in credit logic from "looking at mortgages" to "looking at technology, scenarios and the future".

In response to the problem that technology companies have "long-term lack of patience, light assets and lack of mortgage, and high risks and lack of support", Guangdong has built a full-cycle service ecosystem: technology credit risk compensation can reach up to 90% of the principal; technology insurance can be "examine-free and direct" with at least 50% premium subsidy; the innovative points system digital intelligence base collects 43 indicators, transforms innovative factors such as patents and R&D investment into verifiable credit portraits, and solves the problem of "having points, but it is difficult to lend".

It is reported that "Insurance Capital into Guangdong" has invested a total of 2.7 trillion yuan, supporting more than 800 technology companies. The first batch of 66 science and technology branches in the province issued science and technology loans worth 126.3 billion yuan. Technology insurance provides 1.27 trillion yuan in risk protection for technology companies. Reforms to facilitate cross-border investment and financing have been deepened, QFLP (qualified foreign limited partners), QDLP (qualified domestic limited partners) pilots and the scale of technological innovation bond issuance have continued to expand, providing diversified long-term funds for technology companies.
