China Development Bank Corporation ("the Bank" or "CDB") is dedicated to the mission of strengthening the competitiveness of China and improving the living standards of its people in support of the State's medium-to long-term development strategies and policies.

CDB is a leader in the implementation of the State's macroeconomic policies and has assumed an active role in raising and channelling funds to alleviate the bottleneck restraints and strengthen the weaker links in the nation's economy, all to the rational development of the economy and society. The Bank is dedicated to promoting the development of the market through well-planned finance, with balance of established techniques and pioneering initiatives. These support the State's key national projects, basic industries and the high-technology sector as well as pillar industries and critical infrastructure construction. The Bank is especially attentive to the financially disadvantaged peoples and sectors of the nation's economy. In support of State's policies to implement disciplined development and build a harmonious society, the Bank directs funding to constrained sectors, including urbanisation, SMEs, agriculture, rural communities and farmers, along with special programs for health care and education. In answer to the call of the State to encourage domestic enterprises to "Go Global", the Bank also engages in a wide range of international cooperative activities.

The Bank has endeavoured to adhere to a market-oriented, commercially viable approach, a strategy validated by the Bank's maintaining and continuously improving its outstanding internationally-benchmarked market performance and core competitiveness indicators.
