Joint Venture in China to Become Wholly-owned Subsidiary
Today, Nomura Holdings, Inc. (NHI) announced that it has made Nomura-CITIC International Economic Consultants Co., Ltd. (Nomura-CITIC) (Headquarters: Beijing, China. CEO: Yao Jinrong. President: Toyokazu Shirahata), a joint venture in China, its wholly-owned subsidiary. NHI has already concluded parent company registration procedures for the new company, Nomura Corporate Advisory (China) Co., Ltd.
Nomura-CITIC was set up in December 1993 to provide consultancy services to overseas businesses, primarily Japanese companies, looking to move into the Chinese market. Since then it has built an impressive track record, providing consultation services on approximately 200 occasions for the establishment of local subsidiaries and undertaking around 250 research projects, including the formulation of business strategies for companies looking to invest in China.
NHI aims to utilize the Nomura Group’s integrated corporate strength to heighten Nomura-CITIC’s management flexibility so as to enable it to respond more precisely to changes in China’s business environment.
Nomura Corporate Advisory (China) Co., Ltd. will utilize Nomura-CITIC’s know how to further develop Nomura’s consulting business in China in order to respond to the increasingly sophisticated needs of clients seeking to enter the Chinese market, for example through Japan-China cross-border M&A activity.
Though the joint venture is to be dissolved, Nomura will maintain friendly relations with CITIC Group members, such as China International Economic Consultants.
