ANZ is proud to be a platinum sponsor of the Australia pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo 2010.
As one of Australia's leading banks and a top 40 bank globally, ANZ regards China as a key part of our aspiration to become a Super Regional bank delivering global quality services to customers in Asia Pacific.
ANZ has a long history in China. We were the first Australian bank to have a fully-licensed branch in mainland China. Today, we have branches in Shanghai and Beijing, an office in Guangzhou and plans to provide more products and expand our network in the next three years.
ANZ is Australia's largest investor in China, with successful partnerships with Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank and Bank of Tianjin. We have also recently announced that we're planning to open a new rural bank in Liangping in Chongqing which will contribute to the Chinese Government's plans for rural development.
The Expo theme 'Better City Better Life' resonates strongly with ANZ, which was assessed as the number one bank globally on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index in 2007 and 2008.
Australia and China have a strong relationship, and ANZ plays an important role in connecting Australia and China's people and businesses. We look forward to working with the Australian Government to showcase Australia and ANZ's capabilities, celebrate and build on the close ties between Australia and China and provide the opportunity for the Chinese people to get to know ANZ.
