John Peace, chairman of StanChart said the deal will forge a
“stronger and deeper” partnership with ABC.
A joint committee headed by StanChart’s chief executive Peter
Sands and ABC’s president Zhang Yun, will attempt to drive the
partnership forward across Asia, with Hong Kong identified as a
pilot region.
The alliance comes as ABC prepares to raise more than $23bn in
the world’s largest initial public offering.
