On Jan 12, Beijing E-Town Comprehensive Bonded Zone Leasing Co., Ltd. (E-Town CBZ Leasing), a wholly owned subsidiary of Beijing E-Town International Financing Leasing Co., Ltd. (E-Town Leasing) under Beijing E-Town International Investment & Development Co., Ltd. (E-Town Capital), was officially established in the Beijing E-Town Comprehensive Bonded Zone (E-Town CBZ). Its arrival further complements the existing functions of the zone and accelerates the development of a "bonded + leasing" industrial ecosystem. It also marks a milestone for E-Town Leasing in responding to China's national strategy of high-standard opening-up, exploring innovative cross-border leasing business models and supporting regional industrial upgrading.

As China's first comprehensive bonded zone themed on cultivating new quality productive forces, the E-Town CBZ is built on the integrated development of advanced manufacturing and high-end services. It enjoys the unique policy advantages of "six zones in one" — a national-level economic and technological development area, a national high-tech development zone, the Zhongguancun National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone, a comprehensive demonstration zone for the expanded opening-up of the service sector, a pilot free trade zone, and a comprehensive bonded zone.

Drawing on this platform, E-Town CBZ Leasing will make full use of strengths of the leasing business — low capital occupation and flexible operation and management — and tap into policy benefits such as installment payment of import duties and taxes on bonded leasing and export tax rebates for goods entering the zone. It will focus on building a bonded service-sharing platform and export channels for industrial goods, and offer customized leasing solutions that are both cost-effective and flexible, helping remove bottlenecks for enterprises in cross-border trade and cut operating costs, and supporting the extension of industrial value chains.

As a professional, market-oriented and value-driven investment platform for industrial empowerment in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (BDA), E-Town Capital remains committed to serving the real economy and continues to fulfill the responsibilities of a State-owned enterprise in building Beijing's high-end industrial clusters and advancing the BDA's high-quality development. The establishment of E-Town CBZ Leasing is both a concrete step in responding to the series of measures by the BDA on accelerating the development of the Comprehensive Bonded Zone for new quality productive forces, and a vivid example of a State-owned enterprise supporting the national opening-up strategy and innovating services for the cultivation of new quality productive forces. It will inject strong SOE-driven momentum into the new capital-financing ecosystem of the bonded zone.

Going forward, E-Town CBZ Leasing will be policy-anchored, innovation-driven and service-centered, and will integrate itself into the development of the E-Town CBZ and the BDA. It will continue to refine its cross-border leasing service system and contribute to a national "E-Town model" for the transformation and upgrading of comprehensive bonded zones and to the capital's efforts to build a higher-level open economic system.
