How international banks can capitalize on China’s Greater Bay Area

From wealth management products to enterprise financing solutions, China’s Greater Bay Area offers myriad opportunities. As regulators continue to inch open the door to cross-border transactions, it falls to bankers to champion the liberalisation of data, capital and talent flows – and capitalise on the cross-border region’s undoubted promise.

A region-within-a-region, the GBA generated more than $2 trillion in output in 2023 – on a par with the entire economies of South Korea or Canada – and is home to many of the country’s most innovative firms. At the heart of the process is the increasingly free flow of individual customers and the capital they own and can deploy.
