With the government moving forcefully to clean up poorly run domestic banks, Citibank and the Bank of Overseas Chinese (BOC) announced in early April that Citibank would be buying out the BOC at NT $ 11.62 per share, for a total price of over NT $ 14 billion. The deal could be completed as early as September.
就在政府對經營不善的本國銀行展開鐵腕整頓之際，4 月上旬，美商花旗銀行和華僑銀行共同宣布，花旗將以每股約 11.62 元、總金額超過新台幣 140 億元的價格購併僑銀，全案最快可於今年 9 月完成。
