BEA gets OK to inject 2b yuan into mainland subsidiary

THE Bank of East Asia, the third-biggest bank in Hong Kong, said it has received regulatory approval for a capital injection for its subsidiary on China’s mainland, the lender said in a statement yesterday.

BEA China will get 2 billion yuan (US$328 million) from the group for future business expansion following approval by the China Banking Regulatory Commission, the statement said.

It will raise BEA China’s registered capital from 8 billion yuan to 10 billion yuan.

BEA China said the move indicates the banking group will continue to raise investment and support in the mainland market.

BEA said earlier that its net interest margin jumped 23 basis points to 1.9 percent by the end of last year, which is mainly because of the increase in the interbank rate on the mainland.
