Recently, Beijing E-Town International Financing Guarantee Co (E-Town Guarantee), together with Bank of Beijing's Beijing Municipal Administrative Center Branch, completed the first transaction under the "Special Guarantee for Private Investment" program of Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (BDA). The program provides 5 million yuan ($750,000) in medium and long-term guarantee support with a term of two years to a smart manufacturing company in the area, with a comprehensive fee rate of 1 percent. The funds will be used for raw material procurement, working capital turnover and other production activities. Notably, the firm's parent company is a long-standing partner of E-Town Guarantee for more than a decade.

Since 2015, E-Town Guarantee has provided a cumulative 440 million yuan ($65.75 million) in guarantee support to that parent company and its affiliated companies. Drawing on its in-depth knowledge of the parent company and a well-grounded assessment of the subsidiary's prospects, E-Town Guarantee responded quickly to the financing request and helped the company break through a development bottleneck. This is both a concrete move by E-Town Guarantee to improve the environment for private investment and another innovative practice in providing financial services for the BDA's key industrial chains.

In January this year, the Ministry of Finance and three other departments jointly issued the Notice on Implementing the Special Guarantee Plan for Private Investment (Cai Jin [2026] No. 6), supporting medium- and long-term guarantees for private investment loans by eligible MSMEs. Seizing the policy opportunity, E-Town Guarantee promptly launched its "Special Guarantee for Private Investment" product. The product focuses on supporting Beijing-based MSMEs in technological upgrading, digital and intelligent transformation, plant expansion and renovation, storefront fit-out, working capital turnover and other production activities, and is supported by a bank-guarantor risk-sharing mechanism, a preferential 1 percent fee rate as well as medium and long-term funding arrangements. With the completion of the BDA's first transaction, the effect of the policy is being further released, giving a strong boost to private investment and to the vitality of market entities.

Going forward, E-Town Guarantee will take the completion of this transaction as an opportunity to stay closely aligned with the policy direction of the Special Guarantee Plan for Private Investment, continue to deepen bank-guarantor risk-sharing cooperation with banking institutions, and further expand the product's coverage and business scale. It will also continue to streamline service procedures and improve approval efficiency, providing long-term, stable and low-cost financing guarantee support for Beijing's MSMEs, so as to drive steady growth in private investment and inject stronger financial momentum into the high-quality development of the capital's real economy.
