BofA deems more CCB shares sale

Chinese paper reported that the American bank was weighing selling part of its remaining CCB stake to boost its capital.

Bank of America Corp is considering further reducing its stake in China Construction Bank Corp, a newspaper reported said on Monday, after the bank cut its holding by half in August.

BofA officials contacted CCB over the weekend to say that the bank was weighing selling part of its remaining CCB stake to boost its capital, the South China Morning Post reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

BofA and CCB officials declined comment.

In August, BofA sold about half its 10 percent stake in CCB raising about $8.3 billion. BofA's remaining stake is worth about $9.2 billion based on CCB's current market value.

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.
