A coalition of Chinese financial institutions has agreed to provide 15.5 billion yuan ($2.3 billion) for 12 urban renewal projects in Shenzhen. The preliminary agreements mark the first major initiative by a city-backed advisory group aimed at easing the local real estate funding crunch.

The capital injection underscores a broader effort by local governments to match risk-averse banks with stalled property developments, stabilizing a critical sector of the economy.
