What 中国经济信息社有限公司 does

China Economic Information Service Co., Ltd. (CEIS, 中经社) is a state-owned professional economic information service institution directly under Xinhua News Agency, headquartered in Beijing with a Shanghai regional headquarters. Founded in 1989 and designated as a national high-end think tank construction pilot unit, CEIS has operated for over 30 years and describes itself as one of China's most authoritative economic information service institutions by service breadth and product range. Its core mission is framed as serving national financial information security and RMB internationalization.

CEIS operates a portfolio of five flagship platforms: Xinhua Finance (新华财经), a national financial information platform; Xinhua Silk Road (新华丝路), a multi-language Belt and Road information service in eight languages (Chinese, English, Italian, Thai, Polish, Greek, Hungarian, Czech); Xinhua Credit (新华信用), a national credit information platform for urban credit systems and enterprise credit management; Xinhua Indices (新华指数), an integrated index compilation and publishing service; and Industry Insights (行业洞察), an economic and government think tank plus data services platform. In 2026 the company launched the Xinhua Finance MCP service matrix, positioning itself as a national-level financial AI data compliance infrastructure. The technology stack is a platform-plus-modules architecture with professional desktop terminals, mobile applications (the Xinhua Finance App has surpassed 50 million downloads), public terminals, specialized data services, and a China-ASEAN financial services terminal. The product mix is augmented by co-developed indices such as the China M&A Composite Index with SPD Bank and the Xinhua-Qinghai Yak and Tibetan Sheep Price Indices.

CEIS serves financial institutions, Belt and Road participants, and government and enterprise credit users, with named partners including Bank of China, CITIC Bank, Bank of Shanghai, China Merchants Bank, SPD Bank, and Caitong Securities. No public revenue, pricing, or app download metrics beyond the 50M+ figure are disclosed. The firm does not raise external capital and is wholly owned by Xinhua News Agency; its revenue model appears to combine institutional subscriptions, government contracts, index licensing, and consumer application monetization, though the exact mechanics are not publicly itemized.
