The research identifies the fundamental challenges industrial enterprises face in accessing long-termcapital, including high interest rates and collateral constraints, while highlighting the systemic transition of state-ownedbanks toward market-oriented operations. The findings reveal a direct positive correlation between long-term commerciallending and the technological upgrading of manufacturing sectors.
