CDBC supports domestic enterprises to “go global” and proactively promotes its overseas investment business as part of its mandate to foster the implementation of both the national and CDB’s global strategies. In December 2011, CDBC set up its wholly-owned subsidiary CDB International Holding Co., Ltd. (CDB International) in Hong Kong as the only overseas investment platform of CDB and CDBC. CDB International took the controlling stake of two Hong Kong-based listed companies, CDB International Investment Co., Ltd. (1062.HK) and China New Town Development Co., Ltd. (1278.HK), as its major overseas equity investment platform and new urbanization business investment platform respectively. The overseas investment of CDBC mainly covers common equity investment and mezzanine investment.
