Sun Wei introduced that compared with traditional infrastructure, new infrastructure investment has three characteristics: diversification of subjects, diversification of scale and marketization of operation. “The construction and development of new infrastructure is based on the market and industry demand, and its business model depends more on the independent choice of the market. In these aspects, private enterprises have strong competitiveness.”

“In the next step, we will further mobilize the vitality of market players and stimulate the enthusiasm of private investment.” First, lower the access threshold, further relax the access fields and lower the investment threshold, and promote private capital to give full play to its role; Second, increase credit support, innovate financial instruments and broaden financing channels, especially to create more favorable conditions for private enterprises to participate in the construction of new infrastructure; Third, optimize the business environment, support enterprises to carry out technological innovation and business model innovation in the field of new infrastructure, and cultivate new drivers of economic and social development.
