Raiffeisen bank connects Chinese firms to overseas opportunities

Just recently billed as the "Best Bank in Central and Eastern Europe" for the 12th time in 15 years by Global Finance magazine, RBI maintains 14 subsidiary banks in CEE, with 2,400 outlets in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, Serbia, Kosovo, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.

Additionally, RBI Group comprises numerous other financial service providers, for instance in leasing, asset management or M&A.

With its dedicated staff of nearly 50,000 bankers, RBI caters for around 16.5 million customers in the areas of corporate business, small and medium-sized enterprises and private individuals, as well as financial institutions and sovereigns.

RBI established a branch in Beijing in 1999 as the first and only bank in Austria with an operational presence in China, thereby enhancing Chinese enterprises' access to CEE through its extensive network and expertise in the local market.

RBI facilitates investments in high-tech areas and also finances production capacity investments in mass consumer areas.

The company enables large Chinese enterprises to participate in infrastructure construction projects - such as harbors, airports, all kinds of interchanges, traffic hubs, the creation of bonded areas and development zones, designing and building of railroads and highways - by means of introducing suitable projects, financing, or offering M&A services, including post-acquisition finance.

RBI, almost like no other bank, offers refinancing in local currencies in the CEE area, the company said.

During last year's Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in Beijing, RBI entered into strategic cooperation agreements with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the Sino CEE Fund and the China Development Bank.
