The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China was established on January 1, 1984, in Beijing, China. It was originally created as a limited company to serve as a commercial bank to drive the country’s economic reforms. Over the years, ICBC has expanded its operations both domestically and internationally, establishing itself as a leading player in the global banking industry. The bank went public in 2006, listing simultaneously on the Hong Kong and Shanghai stock exchanges, marking a significant milestone in its history.
