Speaking this week, China's top economic planner announced intentions to introduce tax breaks and smoother regulations for private investors backing infrastructure projects, in a bid to inject energy into the market.
The announcement comes from the National Development Reform Commission (NDRC) as it looks to steady growth amid a slowdown caused largely by a property downturn.
The news goes in hand with the announcement of 287 projects worth a combined $148bn by the NDRC. They cover a range of sectors, including municipal works, highways, rail airport water conservation and energy.
