The Ministry of Finance will transfer around 115 billion yuan ($16.1 billion) in state assets to the national social security fund, in the government’s latest effort to stave off a looming pension shortfall.

The transfer shows how keen the central government is to move forward on the policy, dating back to 2017 (link in Chinese), which aims to bolster China’s pension funds as the country’s population rapidly ages.
