Beijing-based China Everbright Bank (SHA.601818) will seek to raise up to US$2 billion in Hong Kong next week, its third attempt at listing, South China Morning Post reported. The move comes after the bank has seen a meaningful recovery in demand for new shares. Everbright will undergo an accelerated book building for a sale of 12 billion shares that could raise between US$1.8 billion-$2 billion. Bankers said Everbright’s offering was another “tough deal”, with persistent weakness in the company’s Shanghai-traded shares and concern over mainland bank asset deterioration.
