China’s Top Economic Planner Unveils New Database for Private Investment Projects

China’s top economic planner has unveiled a batch of measures aimed at creating a better business environment for the private sector, including a database for promoting approved projects to private investors.

The 17 measures released on Monday by The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) were in response to the cabinet’s pledge last week to make the private economy “bigger, better and stronger” by creating a first-class, market-oriented business environment and cultivating a “close and clean” relationship between businesses and the government.
