Chen Zuofu, vice- president of CCB, said the bank considered Africa to be a significant growth market.
建行副行长陈佐夫表示，该行认为非洲是一个重要的增长型市场。BofA said the bank "intends to remain a long-term shareholder and strategic shareholder with China Construction Bank. "
美国银行表示，该银行“打算继续成为中国建行的一个长期股东和战略投资者。”A person close to BofA said selling more of the CBC stake would have made little difference to the bank's capital position.
一名接近美银的人士表示，出售更多的建行股份，对美银的资本状况不会有什么帮助。The bank industry is operating risk, so CCB have to perform full risk management to make a bright future.
银行业是经营风险的行业，建行只有推行全面风险管理，才在愈来愈激烈的竞争环境中生存并取得长足发展。The bank is China's third-largest lender by assets after ICBC and China Construction Bank, and is the country's largest rural lender.
农行是中国国内资产规模仅次于工行和建行的第三大银行，是中国最大的农村银行。The US bank is planning to sell part of its 9 per cent stake in China's second biggest bank, people familiar with the matter say.
知情人士称，这家美国银行正计划部分出售其所持建行9%股份，建行是中国第二大银行。I used the dragon card of the Construction Bank in my four-year college so that I feel very honored if I can work in such a company.
我大学四年用的都是建行的龙卡，能在这样的公司工作，我倍感荣幸。In August, the bank announced it had reached an agreement to sell 13. 1bn CCB shares for about $8. 3bn.
今年8月份，美银宣布其已达成一项协议，将以约83亿美元价格出售131亿股所持建行股份。The acquisition of Bank of America (Asia) represents a strong initiative of CCB to expand its overseas presence and retail banking business.
因此，此次收购被普遍视为建行全面推进海外业务和零售业务发展的积极信号。
