It's our responsibility to support the development of the real economy

Since its inception, CICC’s investment banking business (IB) has always been at the forefront of China’s economic transformation. We have supported China’s national strategies and embraced historic opportunities brought on by the across-the-board registration-based reform, the mixed-ownership reform, the supply-side reform, the Belt and Road Initiative, and the development and opening-up of China’s capital markets. By continuously refining our financial expertise in our service to the real economy, we have closed a broad range of deals in key sectors such as finance, energy, transportation and construction, as well as emerging sectors such as TMT, healthcare, high-end manufacturing and consumption.


As China’s economy enters a new era, the private sector led by innovative enterprises is gradually becoming an essential driver of the economy. In response to new demands for financial services, the Growth Enterprise Investment Banking Department (GI) is dedicated to comprehensive and sophisticated capital market services for private-sector enterprises and growing enterprises, several industry groups are established to explore opportunities in emerging sectors, increasing our local presence and strengthening our global network, and the Debt Restructuring Management Group (DRM) has also been established to assist local governments and enterprises in mitigating risks.
