Bank of China (BOC) has been at the forefront of BRI projects in south Asia, and a regional pioneer among mainland banks. Over the last three years, it has pitched for these awards several times, relying on its presence in a host of deals such as the 10-year, $700 million syndicated term loan raised for Pakistan’s finance ministry in December 2017. BOC was a key player in that deal, which secured partial guarantees from the World Bank.
