7月23日，国家发展和改革委员会（以下简称“国家发改委”）发布通知，旨在支持优质企业借用中长期外债，以此促进实体经济的高质量发展。这一举措是国家持续贯彻落实党中央、国务院关于扩大高水平对外开放、提升跨境投融资便利化、服务高质量发展等战略部署的重要组成部分。
通知明确了优质企业的界定标准，主要包括行业地位显著、信用优良、对促进实体经济高质量发展具有带动引领作用的企业。具体条件包括：符合《企业中长期外债审核登记管理办法》等规定要求；生产经营活动符合国家宏观调控和产业政策；近一年营业收入规模排名行业前五，资产负债率等财务指标优于行业平均水平；企业国际信用评级为投资级(BBB-及以上)或国内信用评级为AAA；最近三年内未发生境内外债务违约，不存在延迟支付本息事实，无重大违法违规行为，未纳入严重失信主体名单，且财务报表未被注册会计师出具否定意见或无法表示意见，如被出具保留意见，保留意见所涉及事项的重大影响已经消除。
对于符合条件的优质企业，国家发改委将在现行管理基础上，实行专项审核，简化相关要求，加快办理流程。具体措施包括：企业可提交包含子公司在内的年度计划性合并外债额度申请；对于申请借用国际商业贷款的企业，若暂无法提供已签署贷款协议，但能提供贷款机构意向性文件的，可予“容缺办理”；对于申请发行境外债券的企业，若暂未确定主承销机构的，也可予“容缺办理”；对于国内信用评级为AAA且国际信用评级达到A-及以上的优质企业，申请材料中的专业机构法律意见，可由企业内部法律或合规部门出具。
此外，企业申请办理外债审核登记时，应同时说明适用优质企业外债管理的理由，并提供相关支持性材料。企业需确保申报材料的真实性、准确性、完整性，如有隐瞒、虚假记载、误导性陈述或重大遗漏，将按照《企业中长期外债审核登记管理办法》的相关规定予以惩戒。
国家发改委将结合企业申报材料，统筹考虑，积极支持各类所有制的优质企业借用外债，并将根据国家宏观调控、产业政策及全口径外债情况，适时调整优质企业界定标准。各省级发展改革部门亦将主动服务，积极支持本地区符合条件的优质企业。
这一政策的实施，将有助于优化跨境投融资环境，为优质企业提供更加便利、高效的资金支持，促进其在国际市场上更广泛地参与竞争，从而推动实体经济发展，实现高质量增长。

### National Development and Reform Commission Supports Quality Enterprises in Borrowing Long-Term Foreign Debt to Promote High-Quality Real Economy Development
On July 23rd, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), issued a directive aimed at supporting quality enterprises in borrowing long-term foreign debt. This initiative is part of the ongoing implementation of the Central Committee and the State Council’s strategies to expand high-level对外开放, enhance cross-border financing and investment facilitation, and serve high-quality development.
The directive outlines criteria for identifying quality enterprises, which typically include companies with significant industry standing, excellent credit, and a leading role in driving high-quality development in the real economy. The specific conditions include adherence to requirements set out in the ‘Regulations for the Review and Registration of Enterprise Long-Term Foreign Debt’, compliance with national macro-control and industrial policies, ranking in the top five for annual revenue in their respective industries, having financial indicators better than the industry average, an international credit rating of investment grade (BBB- or higher) or a domestic credit rating of AAA, no history of defaulting on domestic or foreign debts, no record of delayed payment of principal or interest, no major violations of laws and regulations, not being included in the list of severely失信 entities, and financial statements not being audited with a negative or unable to express an opinion, with any retained opinion having had its significant impact eliminated.
For enterprises meeting these criteria, the NDRC will streamline the approval process under existing regulations, providing expedited services. The measures include allowing enterprises to submit annual consolidated foreign debt quotas for subsidiaries, granting “deferred processing” for companies applying for international commercial loans that have not yet signed loan agreements but can provide letters of intent from lending institutions, and offering the same for companies applying for issuing foreign bonds that have not yet determined their lead underwriters, provided they have a domestic credit rating of AAA and an international credit rating of A- or higher. Companies under these conditions can also provide internal legal or compliance department opinions in lieu of professional institution legal opinions.
When applying for foreign debt registration, enterprises must provide supporting materials justifying their status as quality enterprises. It is imperative that the submitted materials are truthful, accurate, and complete. Any concealment, false records, misleading statements, or significant omissions will be subject to penalties according to the ‘Regulations for the Review and Registration of Enterprise Long-Term Foreign Debt’.
The NDRC will review the application materials in conjunction with other considerations, actively supporting quality enterprises of all ownership structures in borrowing foreign debt. Adjustments to the criteria for quality enterprises will be made based on national macro-control, industrial policies, and the overall foreign debt situation. Provincial-level development reform departments will also provide proactive support to quality enterprises in their regions that meet the eligibility criteria.
The implementation of this policy aims to optimize the cross-border investment and financing environment, providing quality enterprises with more convenient and efficient funding support, enhancing their competitiveness in the global market, and thus driving the development of the real economy towards high-quality growth.
