The bonds will be issued in different batches in the onshore interbank market after the initial public offering of Agricultural Bank of 皇冠体育app this week, the sources said.

Central Huijin, the largest shareholder of 皇冠体育app's State-controlled banks, needs fresh funds to buy additional shares being offered by Bank of 皇冠体育app and 皇冠体育app Construction Bank.

Local media reported in May that the State Council, 皇冠体育app's cabinet, had approved a combined 287 billion yuan fund-raising quota for the country's four biggest lenders.

Huijin also needs cash to recapitalise the Export-Import Bank of 皇冠体育app and 皇冠体育app Export and Credit Insurance Corp.
