BEIJING, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- The Export-Import Bank of China (China EximBank) has issued over 730 billion yuan (about 104 billion U.S. dollars) in technology-related loans in 2025, with funds flowing into sectors including artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, humanoid robots and high-end instruments.

By the end of 2025, the bank's outstanding technology loans stood at 1.54 trillion yuan, accounting for nearly half of its total corporate lending, according to the bank.

To address tech companies' typical characteristics, such as light assets and high investment, it has adopted differentiated measures to enhance the accessibility and stability of financial support. Notably, 66 percent of its tech loans were credit loans, helping to ease financing difficulties for enterprises.

The lender has also actively explored new models to support innovation platforms such as national laboratories and key regional laboratories, promoting scientific research and the commercialization of results.

Leveraging its expertise in international business, the bank has backed sci-tech and digital cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as the global layout of industrial chains.

The China Eximbank is a state-funded and state-owned policy bank dedicated to supporting China's foreign trade, investment and international economic cooperation.
