The sub-branch will serve corporate and financial institution clients in the area and offer a wide range of corporate banking services with a focus on cross-border transactions, the bank said. "The Shanghai Free Trade Zone is expected to bring about new opportunities for banks that are well positioned to serve clients' needs in a global context," Feng Gao, President of Deutsche Bank China said in a statement. It did not specify when the sub-branch would open. The Shanghai zone, which covers an area of nearly 29 sq km on the eastern outskirts of the commercial hub, was officially launched in late September. China's State Council said it would open up its largely sheltered services sector to foreign competition in the zone and use it as a test bed for bold financial reforms, including a convertible yuan and liberalised interest rates.
