Bank of America sells China bank stake | U.S. | Reuters
-
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Bank of America Corp, coping with tough economic conditions, raised $2.83 billion by selling part of its stake in China Construction Bank Corp, and Hong Kong's richest tycoon sold a $500 million stake in rival Bank of China.
Shares in China's big banks skidded on Wednesday after the sale by the largest U.S. bank by assets. Investors expected further sales in the face of slowing earnings growth at mainland lenders and the lapse of lock-up provisions restricting sales.
China's three largest banks had attracted big strategic investments from Western financial groups at the time of their initial public offerings. Some of those banks, including Royal Bank of Scotland Plc, are now under pressure to sell as the global financial crisis ravages the banking industry.

Russia has cut off all Europe's gas supplies, says Ukraine
Ukraine's gas company claims that Russia has cut off all gas supplies though
the country, a move which would worsen a crisis which threatens to leave a
number of European countries without heating in the midst of a winter chill. -
"Russia stopped all transit through Ukraine" at 7:44 am (0544 GMT), said
Naftogaz spokesman Valentin Zemlyansky.
"Russia has left Europe without gas," he added.
All supplies to Romania had already been cut, while Slovakia has declared a
state of emergency and Bulgaria says it will run out of gas within days.
Some 17 European countries yesterday reported sharp falls or a complete halt
in Russian gas shipments.
The European Union branded the situation "completely unacceptable"
and demanded the flow be restored.
"It is indeed a crisis, a serious one," Ferran Tarradellas told BBC Radio 4's
Today programme. Alternative routes from Russia avoiding Ukraine will not be
able to replace the shortfall, he noted. "We are demanding that they restore
gas supplies to the EU immediately."
The disruption coincides with a particularly cold snap – temperatures dropped
to minus 15F (minus 25C) in Serbia – and many countries in eastern and
central Europe depend on gas for central heating. - 1 more annotations...
