Shanghai-owned state companies will spur investments in next five years
Shanghai's locally-owned state companies are on the verge of investing an extra 800 billion Yuan every year for the next five years. The funds will be mostly allocated for major strategic industries. That’s what the city government informed on Thursday.
It didn’t provide details of how much regular investment the given state-owned companies were planning. It’s also still unknown what industries the extra funds would be allocated for.

In Shanghai, local SOEs managed to earn 3.1 trillion Yuan in 2016, with net revenue hitting 305.8 billion Yuan, as state media informed.
