Lesson
Apart from offering concessional interest rates,ADB and China National Investment and Guaranty Corporation (I&G) could explore providing enhanced value-added services for ongoing and future financial intermediation loan initiatives in air quality improvement or climate change programs. The global economic slowdown dampened enthusiasm for green investments, while the rise in euro interest rates and the reduction of yuan lending rates since 2022 presented additional challenges for green financing eligible subprojects within the greater Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region.

Lesson
Sequential development issues in financial sector. Past reform actions mainly took place within a single subsector (e.g., banking and non-banking, including insurance and pensions). The complex interrelationships among subsectors is a new issue that must be resolved. For example, the insurance sector has grown significantly, and life insurance is a new area of activity. But there are few domestic investment opportunities: there is no treasury bond market and a nascent capital market. The insurance industry and pension funds are both service providers and users of the financial market.

Lesson
Close coordination among development partners. Some of the policy actions under FSPIII have been supported by TA from other development partners, which can help mobilize increased resources for policy reforms. In addition, involvement of several development partners can create momentum in support of proposed policy actions. However, development partners may have differing time frames for completion of specific actions, which may result in delays in implementation of ADB-supported programs.

Lesson
Financial sector development should be based on a sequence of well-planned steps, with each step supported by solid technical inputs. TA is essential in this regard; given the limited availability of ADB funding, strong development partner coordination is essential. The Third Financial Sector Program (FSPIII) experienced positive outcomes resulting from close consultation with development partners whose timely technical inputs enabled completion of policy actions. Also, some initiatives developed by ADB have now been implemented by other development partners

Coordination will require time and strong leadership to plan and execute policy measures.
