OREANDA-NEWS. May 24, 2013. Recently, BOC has, in association with Egypt’s Commercial International Bank (CIB), opened a Chinese business counter in Cairo, capital of Egypt, to offer Chinese and local enterprises financial services such as investment consultation, international settlement, account opening and project loan, thereby promoting the further development of China-Egypt economic and trade investment. The counter is BOC's 8th of its kind abroad.

Chinese business counter is BOC’s innovative mode of expanding its global service network. In countries and regions where BOC’s business branches are absent, BOC provides financial support to Chinese enterprises and individuals abroad and foreign enterprises by employing its rich correspondent bank resources abroad, sending staff to these banks and utilizing their business platforms. To date, BOC has opened Chinese business counters in Oman, Ghana, Peru, Chile, Turkey, Finland and Uganda.

Founded in 1975, with tremendous business strength, Egypt’s CIB has 154 domestic branches.
