China Construction Bank Corporation
China Construction Bank Corporation (CCB) is one of China’s “Big Four” state-owned commercial banks, headquartered in Beijing. Its predecessor, the People’s Construction Bank of China, was founded on 1 October 1954 to finance state infrastructure and industrial-construction projects under China’s early five-year plans, and adopted the name China Construction Bank on 26 March 1996. Following approval from the China Banking Regulatory Commission on 14 September 2004, the bank’s commercial-banking business was reorganised into a joint-stock commercial bank, China Construction Bank Corporation, which listed H-shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (stock code 939) on 27 October 2005 and A-shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (stock code 601939) in September 2007.
CCB provides corporate banking, personal banking, treasury operations and investment-banking services across mainland China, and, through subsidiaries including CCB International (Holdings) Limited (Hong Kong) and CCB Principal Asset Management Co., Ltd., in overseas markets. The group reports close to 200 overseas branches, subsidiaries and representative offices across 31 countries and regions, alongside an extensive domestic branch network. As a systemically important state-owned bank, CCB is regulated in mainland China by the National Financial Regulatory Administration and the People’s Bank of China, and its dual listing subjects it to the disclosure regimes of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
According to CCB’s own announcement of annual results, published in March 2026, the Group’s total assets reached RMB 45.63 trillion at 31 December 2025, up 12.47% year-on-year, with net profit of RMB 339.79 billion for the 2025 financial year, up 1.04% year-on-year, placing CCB among the largest banks in the world by total assets.

Ultimate beneficial ownership
Central Huijin Investment Ltd. is disclosed directly, not calculated through a chain, as CCB’s controlling shareholder, with a combined direct holding of approximately 54.61% of total share capital as of 30 September 2025. Central Huijin is itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Investment Corporation, China’s sovereign wealth fund, whose shareholder rights in key state-owned financial enterprises, including Central Huijin, are exercised on behalf of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China. As Central Huijin and China Investment Corporation are wholly state-owned entities rather than natural persons, no individual ultimate beneficial owner is identified; the ultimate controlling party is the PRC State Council, acting through this chain. The free-float institutional holders listed above are portfolio investors with disclosed minority stakes and do not require beneficial-ownership tracing.
