Agricultural Bank of China established its holding company in Beijing today, marking an important step in the restructuring from a wholly State-owned bank to a commercial institution ready for an eventual public listing.

The newly established holding company, equally owned by the Ministry of Finance and Central Huijin, a subsidiary of the country's sovereign wealth fund, has a registered capital of 260 billion yuan ($37.96 billion), the company said in a statement on its website.

A management team for the holding company has been installed, the statement said, without providing further detail.
