AgBank
The Agricultural Bank of China http://www.abchina.comThe Agricultural Bank of China (hereafter referred to as ABC or the Bank) is the first commercial bank established in the People's Republic of China in 1951 and the State's first specialized bank set up after the reform and opening-up of the country in February 1979. Ever since its establishment, the Bank has been playing an important role in China's rural economic sector. In 1994, the Agricultural Development Bank was separated from ABC. In 1996, the Rural Credit Cooperatives, once an affiliated financial institution to the Bank, were also detached. After this, ABC started its transformation into a wholly state-owned commercial bank. On January 15th, 2009, the Bank changed the registration with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and was transformed in its entirety to a joint-stock company, i.e., Agricultural Bank of China Limited.
