Financial support

 

 

In October, the central government budgeted five billion yuan (US$814 million) for rewarding air pollution treatment efforts in several regions, including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Allocation of funds to provincial-level regions will be made after the end of the year and will differ based on each region's pollution reduction target, investment in pollution treatment, and rate of PM 2.5 decline.
