BEIJING (Reuters) - China's cabinet issued rules on Tuesday to promote private businesses, including incentives for financial institutions to lend to them, in its latest move to support an economy facing multiple headwinds.

The rules aim to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of private businesses and expand employment, China's cabinet said in a notice published on its website.

"Private businessmen are important market players, playing an important role in booming the economy and increasing employment."
