China Politburo lays out H2 agenda: speed fiscal spending, bond use; push 'two major, two new' programs

The Politburo met on July 30 to set second-half priorities, calling for faster fiscal spending and bond deployment, advancement of "two major" national projects and "two new" equipment renewal and trade-in programs, and firm protection of the grassroots "three guarantees" (basic living, wage payments and government operations). Monetary policy will be used flexibly while fiscal-financial coordination is optimised to drive domestic demand. In H1, general public budget expenditure rose 1.5% to RMB14.33 trillion, boosted by 10.8% growth in healthcare and 7.6% in social security. The 2026 proactive fiscal stance includes RMB1.3 trillion in ultra-long special bonds, of which RMB572 billion has been issued. Basic pension subsidies reached RMB1.2 trillion and medical insurance subsidies RMB386.4 billion. A new RMB100 billion six-policy package combining fiscal interest subsidies drove more than RMB17 trillion in related lending and supported approximately RMB1.31 trillion in consumer spending, delivering 99 million person-times of subsidy benefits.
