State Bank of India to open second Chinese branch

Will be located in Tianjin, the largest coastal city in northern China.

The State Bank of India's second branch in China will have a capital of $50 million. It is expected to open at the end of February, said Dinesh Sharma, Chief Executive Officer of SBI, Shanghai branch.

"We hope to access the northern part of China through Tianjin. We have mostly focused on eastern China operating from Shanghai so far," Sharma said.

SBI already has a capital base of US$76 million for the Shanghai branch. With US$123 million at its disposal, the bank says it has a lot of scope for expanding business.

With over 14,000 branches, SBI is the largest banking and financial services company in India.

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.
