Abstract: Industry is an important force in China’s economic development; however, with the transformation and upgrading of the industrial structure, a large number of resources have flowed to the tertiary industry, and the funding problem has become one of the main disadvantages restricting China’s industrial enterprises’ sustainable development. This paper aims to point out the problems and improvement directions of financing efficiency of China’s industrial listed enterprises. Based on the two-stage dynamic network SBM (DNSBM) model, this paper evaluates the financing efficiency of 450 of China’s industrial listed enterprises from 2011 to 2017. The results show that: (1) the overall financing efficiency of China’s industrial listed enterprises is low, the funds are not used effectively, and there is great room for improvement; (2) the overall financing efficiency of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) is lower than that of non-state-owned enterprises (NSOEs), the average fund raising efficiency of SOEs is greater than the fund using efficiency, but the opposite is true for NSOEs; (3) the overall financing efficiency of the main-board-listed enterprises is the lowest, and that of the growth enterprise market (GEM) is the highest, the most obvious gap is in the second stage of fund using, but this gap is gradually narrowing; and (4) the overall financing efficiency of China’s industrial enterprises has obvious regional characteristics, the fund raising efficiency value in each region is not much different, while the fund using is significantly different. To improve financing efficiency, enterprises must improve their financing channels, choose the best financing method, maintain a reasonable debt-financing ratio, improve management level and profitability, increase enterprise value, enhance the debt-paying ability, and attract more capital at a low cost. In addition, the government should also provide corresponding financing support policies for different types of enterprises.
