中国建设银行在香港的全资子公司中国建设银行(亚洲)股份有限公司与美国国际集团(AIG)已就收购美国国际信贷(香港)有限公司(AIGF)的全部股份达成最终协议,并购金额7000万美元。这是建设银行2006年收购美国银行(亚洲)以来,在香港地区进行的又一项重大并购活动。高伟绅在此项目中代表中国建设银行，年利达为美国国际集团的法律顾问。

Clifford Chance and Linklaters have played lead roles on China Construction Bank Asia's (CCB) acquisition of AIG Finance, the consumer finance operations of the AIG group in Hong Kong.

The deal, which is still subject to regulatory approvals, will see CCB acquire the outstanding shares of AIG Finance for US$70m and will significantly increase the Chinese Bank's consumer finance business in Hong Kong.

A Clifford Chance team led by Amy Lo and Simon Cooke were retained by CCB, while Andrew Mackie led a Linklaters team acting for AIG.

Cooke said that the transaction may be the first of many in Asia's financial services sector as companies look to take advantage of the economic green shoots appearing across the region at the moment.  "We expect to see more transactions of this nature as the region's financial institutions realign their operations and adjust their balance sheets to take advantage of both the continued economic recovery and the long-term growth potential in Asia."
