Agricultural Bank Said to Win Hong Kong IPO Approval

June 11 (Bloomberg) -- Bloomberg's Paul Gordon reports on Agricultural Bank of China Ltd.'s planned initial public offering. Agricultural Bank, China’s largest lender by customers, received approval in Hong Kong for an IPO, clearing the way to what may be the world’s biggest first-time share sale, two people familiar with the matter said. The listing committee of the Hong Kong exchange gave in-principle approval to the company’s IPO application, according to the people, who declined to be identified because it hasn’t been publicly announced. The China Securities Regulatory Commission on May 9 gave its nod to the Shanghai part of the share sale. Bloomberg's Rishaad Salamat also speaks. (Source: Bloomberg)
