Bayannur Branch of People's Bank of China Employs Innovative Financial Services to Revitalize Agricultural and Rural Development in Inner Mongolia

In a move to address the long-standing challenges of difficult and expensive financing for agricultural and pastoral operations, the Bayannur branch of the People's Bank of China has introduced a new paradigm of "agricultural and livestock loan" financial services. This initiative has effectively solved the problems of insufficient collateral and mismatched financial products, providing valuable experience for rural revitalization. By innovatively including agricultural orders and warehouse receipts in the core collateral category, the branch has broadened the scope of eligible collateral, enabling farmers and herders to access more financing options. As of the end of September, the city's outstanding "agricultural and livestock loans" reached 2.92 billion yuan, with order and warehouse receipt pledge loans amounting to 385 million yuan, accounting for 13.19%.
