NEW YORK -- China Construction Bank Corporation (CCB), the world's second largest bank by market value, opened its New York branch on Friday.

The New York branch, CCB's first branch in the United States, extends CCB's global presence and marks a significant milestone in CCB's global strategy, said CCB's Chairman Guo Shuqing told Xinhua after the opening ceremony.

The establishment of CCB's branch in New York, the world's largest financial center, will significantly improve CCB's ability to provide worldwide services to its customers, he added.

The New York branch will engage in wholesale banking activities, including lending, acceptance of wholesale deposits, trade finance, US dollar clearing and treasury, according to the CCB.

As the initial operating platform in the United States, the New York branch will use CCB's extensive financial resources, robust global network and solid infrastructure to provide premium financial services to its clients, including multinational corporations and financial institutions.
