亚洲开发银行（亚行）董事会已批准一项价值3.1亿美元的贷款，旨在帮助中国东北地区黑龙江省东部的四座煤炭城市，促进经济的多元化发展和复苏。

The Asian Development Bank's (ADB) Board ofDirectors has approved a $310 million loan to help catalyze economicdiversification and revitalization in four coal-dependent cities inHeilongjiang Province in the northeastern region of China.

该项贷款将支持中小企业发展、治理采矿对环境的影响以及城市基础设施与服务改善等工作，进而改善项目城市居民的生活条件。

The loan will support the development ofsmall and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), environmental cleanup from coalmining, and urban infrastructure and services improvements to enhance livingconditions of residents in the project cities.

亚行东亚局城市发展专家斯蒂芬·劳表示，四座项目城市——鹤岗市、鸡西市、七台河市、双鸭山市均是中国近50年来重要的采矿和电力生产基地。目前，四座城市面临经济衰退、环境恶化等重大挑战，影响着人们的生活。

“The project cities of Hegang, Jixi,Qitaihe, and Shuangyashan have been important bases for coal mining andelectricity production for the PRC over the last 50 years, and are now facingserious challenges of economic decline and environmental degradation,” said Stefan Rau, ADB’s Senior Urban Development Specialist.

亚行将与政府紧密合作，帮助这些城市构建多元化非煤产业，创造全新就业机会，实现经济转型，并改变其原有的煤炭资源型城市面貌，树立清洁绿色城市新形象，增强城市魅力，为当前和未来的居民及企业改善生活条件。

ADB will work closely with the governmentto help transform the cities’ economies with jobs created in a diversity ofnon-coal industries, and to change their images from coal cities to clean andgreen cities. This will make them more attractive and improve the quality oflife for current and future residents and companies.

黑龙江省绿色城市和经济振兴项目符合面临经济挑战的中国东北地区的国家与省级配套政策，并可作为其补充。预计该项目将直接惠及四个项目城市内约273万居民。

The project is aligned with and complementsvarious national and provincial level policies and programs supporting theeconomically challenged northeastern region of the PRC, and is expected todirectly benefit around 2.73 million residents in the four project cities.

亚行将通过技术援助基金提供450,000美元支援资金，其中亚行成立的金融部门发展伙伴关系专项基金出资300,000美元。

ADB’s Technical Assistance Fund willfinance $450,000 of the TA, with the ADB-established Financial SectorDevelopment Partnership Special Fund contributing $300,000.

项目总成本预计为10.21亿美元。项目完工日期为2023年第一季度。

Total cost of the project is estimated at$1.02 billion. The project’s completion date is in the first quarter of 2023.
