China Construction Bank board chairman Wang Hongzhang was quoted by the China Daily as saying that Australia’s marketing and investing environment for foreign financial businesses is ideal.
"Australia has always been a top priority in the CCB’s overseas expansion since the country enjoys a very strong economy in the Asia-Pacific region and is an international financial," Wang added.
He further said that ATM is still a new idea for CCB’s global operation and offices, and the lender would like to use this new channel to access the local market.
CCB became the first Chinese lender that was granted permission to operate in Australia after the global financial crisis of 2008, and launched its Sydney Branch in 2010 and Melbourne branch in 2012, respectively.
