China’s largest lender, the Bank of China, is entering Poland’s financial market with its first branch planned to be open in Warsaw in April. With the estimated investment of USD 130bn, the bank hopes the move will encourage further cooperation between the countries. Bartosz Komasa, responsible for bank’s entrance into Poland, say he’s targeting at least 50 Polish companies interested in investing in China. “Many companies from the top 50 in Poland, like Orlen, KGHM, Energa and Enea, sent their representatives to accompany President Bronisław Komorowski on a business trip to China [in December 2011]. They are interested in cooperation, and we want to help them,” Komasa added.
