ADBC to issue 400B yuan in bonds in 2011

Agricultural Development Bank of China plans to issue 400 billion yuan, 60.6 billion U.S. dollars, in bonds in 2011.

The amount represents an increase of 43 percent compared with 280 billion yuan issued in bonds last year, said Ding Jie, the bank's vice president.

"As it is getting harder for the bank to increase deposits, the bank decided to sell more bonds to raise capital," he added.

Bonds accounted for 53 per cent of the bank's capital structure by the end of 2010.

The bank plans to issue 210 billion yuan in new loans in 2011, the same as last year.

"The central government demanded financial institutions give stronger support to rural development. That's why we keep the loan plan unchanged," said Ding.

About 100 billion yuan of the loans will go to rural water facilities and countryside construction projects, according to Ding.

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.
