Huijin supports CCB's rights issue

Parent Huijin's announcement precedes CCB's shareholder meeting tacking to push through with the $11bln fundraising plan.

China Construction Bank, the world's second-largest lender by market value, said on Monday that its state-owned parent Central Huijin will fully participate in its rights issue.

CCB's statement of Huijin's support, issued to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, comes ahead of a shareholder meeting on Thursday that will vote on whether to approve the $11 billion fundraising plan.

CCB Chairman Guo Shuqing said last month that the bank may push back with its capital-raising to early next year due to uncertain market conditions.

CCB is 12% owned by Bank of America and 6% owned by Singapore state investor Temasek.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
