近日，国家发展和改革委员会（简称国家发改委）发布《关于支持优质企业借用中长期外债 促进实体经济高质量发展的通知》（以下简称《通知》），旨在进一步完善外债管理和服务，优化宏观经济治理体系，建设更高水平的开放型经济新体制。《通知》的出台，是国家发改委积极响应中央经济工作会议及中央金融工作会议精神，加强跨周期和逆周期调节，提升跨境投融资便利化的重要举措。
《通知》主要围绕以下几点展开：
**1. 优化企业外债管理标准**：《通知》明确优质企业的界定标准，包括但不限于企业符合国家宏观调控和产业政策、主要经营财务指标处于行业优秀水平、国际（或国内）信用评级较高，以及近三年无境内外债务违约、无违法违规或失信行为等条件。这一界定旨在提升外债分类管理的精准性和有效性。
**2. 简化审核流程**：对于优质企业，可以提交包含子公司的计划性合并外债额度申请，实现一次申请、分次使用。在申请借用国际商业贷款或境外发行债券时，对于部分材料欠缺的情况，允许适当“容缺办理”。符合条件的企业，其申请材料中的专业机构法律意见书，可由企业内部法务部门出具。国家发改委将对优质企业外债申请实行专项审核，加快办理流程，增强政策的可获得性。
**3. 强化支持和服务**：《通知》鼓励和支持各类所有制的优质企业借用中长期外债，同时根据内外部环境变化，适时调整优质企业界定标准。地方各级政府也应主动服务，积极支持和指导区域内优质企业合理开展中长期外债融资，提高资金使用效益，助力实体经济高质量发展。
**4. 完善监管机制**：《通知》强调，将在支持优质企业借用中长期外债的同时，建立健全相应的事中事后监管机制，与相关部门协同合作，确保外债资金使用的合规性和有效性。
《通知》的发布，体现了国家发改委在促进内外双循环、支持实体经济高质量发展方面的坚定决心，通过优化外债管理和服务，为企业提供更加便利的跨境投融资环境，同时有效防范和控制外债风险，为我国经济的稳定增长和高质量发展注入新的动力。

### National Development and Reform Commission Supports Quality Enterprises in Borrowing Long-Term Foreign Debt to Promote Real Economy Development
In a recent move, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), issued a notice titled “Supporting Quality Enterprises in Borrowing Long-Term Foreign Debt to Promote High-Quality Development of the Real Economy.” This initiative aims to further enhance foreign debt management and services, optimize the macroeconomic governance system, and foster a more open economy with higher standards. The notice is a response to the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference and the Central Financial Work Conference, and it is a significant step in strengthening cross-cycle and counter-cyclical adjustments to improve cross-border investment and financing facilitation.
The notice focuses on several key areas:
**1. Refining Standards for Enterprise Foreign Debt Management:** The notice clearly defines criteria for quality enterprises, including compliance with national macroeconomic policies and industrial strategies, excellent operational and financial indicators, high international (or domestic) credit ratings, and no history of default on domestic or foreign debt, or any violations of laws, regulations, or失信 behavior within the past three years. This approach is designed to improve the precision and effectiveness of foreign debt categorization.
**2. Streamlining Approval Processes:** Quality enterprises are allowed to submit applications for a consolidated quota of long-term foreign debt from their subsidiaries. This enables one-time submission with multiple uses. In cases where necessary documentation is lacking, the notice allows for “flexible processing” under certain conditions. For eligible enterprises, legal opinions from professional institutions in the application materials can be issued by the enterprise’s internal legal department. The NDRC will handle applications for quality enterprises’ foreign debt in a dedicated review process, expediting the process and enhancing the accessibility of the policy.
**3. Strengthening Support and Services:** The notice encourages and supports all types of ownership quality enterprises in borrowing long-term foreign debt. It also allows for adjustments to the criteria for quality enterprises based on changes in the internal and external environment. Local governments should proactively provide services and guidance to local quality enterprises in conducting rational long-term foreign debt financing, enhancing the efficiency of capital use, and supporting high-quality development of the real economy.
**4. Improving Regulatory Mechanisms:** The notice emphasizes the establishment of effective regulatory mechanisms in conjunction with support for quality enterprises in borrowing long-term foreign debt. It calls for cooperation with relevant departments to ensure the compliance and effectiveness of foreign debt usage.
The issuance of the notice demonstrates the NDRC’s firm commitment to promoting a dual-circulation pattern and high-quality development of the real economy. By optimizing foreign debt management and services, it aims to provide a more convenient cross-border investment and financing environment for enterprises while effectively managing and controlling foreign debt risks, thereby injecting new momentum into the stable growth and high-quality development of China’s economy.
