China on Wednesday announced a fund worth 180 billion yuan ($28.3 billion) that would support public-private-partnership (PPP) projects.
The fund was created together with 10 Chinese financial institutions, including the China Construction Bank, the Agricultural Bank of China, the Bank of China, the Bank of Communications, CITIC Group, and China Life Insurance (Group) Co, Xinhua news agency reported.
