BOC Hong Kong has appointed Lin Jingzhen as deputy chief executive (corporate banking). He oversees corporate banking, financial institutions and product management; corporate credit management centre; and China business.

Before joining the group Lin was general manager of corporate banking at Bank of China; he joined that bank in 1987.

This publication is in contact with the bank seeking clarification over whether Lin's role is a newly created one, or whether he takes over from someone else at the firm.
