With the approval of the Beijing Organizing
Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG), Bank of China, a banking
partner of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, has become a BOCOG licensee to sell
Olympic precious metal products, high-grade commemorative pins and other
licensed merchandise.
The licensee's first outlet on China's mainland was opened today in Yinchuan,
capital of Ningxia Autonomous Region in western China.
With the support of BOCOG, Bank of China started to sell licensed Olympic
products in Macao Special Administrative Region on January 27, 2006 and the
products have been sought after. The bank said it aims at setting 100 outlets in
cities across China by the end of 2007, bringing its customer resources into
full play.
As banking partner, Bank of China vows to provide quality banking services
for the 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
