Historical developments[edit]

The SPDB now occupies the HSBC Building, Shanghai on The Bund of Shanghai

In 2005, Citigroup, the world's largest financial services firm, expects to wrap up talks within months to raise its stake to nearly a fifth in China's Pudong Development Bank, a senior executive said. Citigroup wants to quadruple its stake in Pudong Bank to 19.9%. Under an agreement forged in 2002, Citigroup already has the option to raise its stake to 24.9% by 2008. From its headquarters on Shanghai's historicBund - the HSBC Building - Pudong Bank today commands 328 branches across the country. China has made banking reform a priority, because it fears the sector's problems could jeopardize economic stability. It is urging banks, big and small, to find foreign investors and seek listings. Citigroup, which became

the world's most valuable financial services firm through a series of big acquisitions, had been viewed as a potential player in any foreign investments in China. But it did not take an expected plunge with statebacked China Construction Bank, and watched as rival Bank of America agreed to pay $3 billion for 9% of the Chinese lender. Citigroup has made significant investments elsewhere in Asia, with a $2.7 billion purchase of KorAm Bank in South Korea.
