Ke Jixin, Vice Minister of Industry and Information Technology, stated that the "Notice on Strengthening the Governance of Payment Difficulties for SMEs" makes a series of requirements for large enterprises, including "reducing the term of accounts payable, reducing the scale of accounts payable, and increasing the proportion of cash receipts." We understand that large enterprises may face some pressure in the short term when implementing these requirements, therefore, special arrangements have been made taking into full account of the relevant circumstances. The "Notice" clarifies that for large enterprises that actively implement the relevant requirements, financing support will be strengthened. The financial sector will actively guide commercial banks to support large enterprises in replacing accounts payable through loan and bond financing, alleviating their financial pressure, and enabling timely payments to upstream and downstream enterprises.
