He said intermediary institutions should be developed so as to provide non-government enterprises with information services concerning policies, laws and regulations and technology. He said investment by private businesses in infrastructure and public utilities should be shored up and guided. Zeng said relevant laws and regulations should be amplified to protect the legitimate interests of non-government enterprises. Loan mortgage method for medium and small-sized enterprises should be enacted to solve the problem of financing for them.
