Yuzheng [2025] No. 18 is a full-province, cross-sector "cost reduction and efficiency improvement" (降本增效) package rather than a single-fund or single-sector subsidy program. It bundles 20 numbered measures across ten cost categories — R&D, technical transformation, labor, financing, energy, logistics, land, import/export, general operating costs, and information access — each assigned to a lead provincial department (Industry and Information Technology, Development and Reform, Finance, Human Resources and Social Security, Transportation, Commerce, Zhengzhou Customs, and others). Individual measures carry disclosed quantitative caps (e.g. 30% of R&D investment up to RMB 20 million for major joint-technology projects; 15-20% technical-transformation subsidies up to RMB 5-10 million; RMB 10,000-140,000 truck scrap-and-renew subsidies; 50-60% unemployment- insurance stabilization rebates through 2025-12-31), but the notice discloses no single aggregate budget figure across all 20 measures, so severity is anchored on the largest disclosed single commitment — the RMB 160 billion 2025 lending target to technology enterprises via the province's manufacturing mid/long-term loan pipeline (same instrument as the sibling 2025-08-08 tech-innovation package, [[2025-08-08-china-henan-enterprise-tech-innovation-policy-package]]) — rather than a summed total. The import/export section (measure 16) explicitly names integrated circuits among the sectors eligible for tariff and import-facilitation treatment.
