The program takes effect this year and will run through the end of 2026, Chinese Minister of Finance Lan Fo’an told reporters. That breaks down to around 2 trillion yuan a year.

Lan added that starting this year, central authorities would issue 800 billion yuan a year in local government special bonds over five years, for a total of 4 trillion yuan.

It was widely expected that Beijing would unveil more stimulus after its parliament ended a five-day meeting.
