(Bloomberg) -- China has announced several measures recently to boost the economy and made a number of pledges to improve the business environment as concerns about the growth outlook continue to mount. 

Statements over the past month provide broad assurances to boost consumer spending on household goods and cars and encourage private companies, with little specific detail. Investors have been skeptical of the pledges so far, and are looking for more concrete proposals and direct stimulus policies. 

More guidance on that will likely come at an upcoming meeting of the Communist Party’s Politburo, although no big bang stimulus is likely on the cards. 

Here’s a list of Beijing’s recent announcements on economic support.

July 24: Business Investment

The National Development and Reform Commission released a plan encouraging private firms to invest in key industries like transportation, water conservation, clean energy, new infrastructure, advanced manufacturing and modern agricultural facilities. Local governments have submitted more than 2,900 projects, worth a total of 3.2 trillion yuan ($445 billion), that businesses can invest in. The NDRC will also seek to finance the projects through bank loans and real estate investment trust products.
