Shou Ziqi congratulated the successful completion of the syndicated loan.

The syndicated loan is not only of great significance to Fosun, but it also plays a positive role in improving public expectations and boosting confidence for development for private enterprises in Shanghai and even the entire country.
The representative of the syndicate said that the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China reaffirmed the need to work unswervingly both to consolidate and develop the public sector and to encourage, support and guide development of the non-public sector and explicitly proposed to promote development of the private economy for the first time. The Central Economic Work Conference held recently once again emphasized the need to work unswervingly both to consolidate and develop the public sector and to encourage, support and guide development of the non-public sector. The successful completion of the syndicated loan is a practical measure taken by the banks to actively provide financial services and guidance, working unswervingly both to consolidate and develop the public sector and to encourage, support and guide development of the non-public sector. As a representative enterprise of China’s private sector rooted in Shanghai, Fosun hopes to take this signing as an opportunity for government, banks and enterprises to jointly promote development of the private economy.
Guo Guangchang expressed his gratitude to the eight banks for their long-term trust and support to Fosun. He said that this signing has further deepened the cooperation between Fosun and banks, broadened financing channels, and consolidated liquidity support for business development. In recent years, as a global innovation-driven consumer group, Fosun has been focusing on the consumption needs of families, and achieved steady development in sectors such as Health, Happiness and Wealth. “In 2023, we believe that demand will gradually be unleashed in the family-oriented consumer sector. We will continue to improve our products and services to better meet the needs of families.”
The signing ceremony was presided over by Wang Qunbin.
