CHENGDU, Dec. 29 (NBD) -- Sichuan is leading the way in supporting inclusive finance. 

The province issued the inclusive finance development plan 2016-2020 on Wednesday, being the first to do so since the State Council issued a five-year plan to develop inclusive finance in January. 

To bolster the construction of an inclusive finance system, Sichuan will improve its financial supervision systems, take full advantages of the capital market and insurance companies, and innovate financial products and services, according to the new document. Meanwhile, it will regulate the development of new types of institutions, improve credit information systems, and strengthen inclusive finance education and rights protection for financial consumers.
