BEIJING: Bank of China (BoC), the country’s largest foreign exchange bank, hopes to list its shares at home in 2005 and is vying to be part of a landmark pilot project to reform the debt-ridden banking sector, a top executive said.
“We hope we can list shares in 2005,” BoC vice-president Hua Qingshan told a financial forum yesterday, in what was the first official comment from a senior executive at one of China’s Big Four banks about listing plans.
