South Korea's fourth-largest lender, Hana Bank, on Monday announced it will purchase an 18.44 percent stake in China's Bank of Jilin later this month.
Hana Bank will buy newly-issued shares of the Bank of Jilin worth $316 million, the bank said.
"After completing the purchase of the stake, we will aggressively tap the Chinese market in alliance with our Chinese unit launched in late 2007," Hana said.
