China International Capital Corp Ltd (CICC) has appointed Wang Shuguang as president, effectively filling a role that had been vacant for over a year following the resignation of former president Wu Bo in April 2024. The announcement was made late Friday, August 29, 2025.
Wang, who is already a member of CICC's management committee and oversees the firm's investment banking operations, will take on his new responsibilities immediately. The board also plans to nominate him as a candidate for executive director.
The leadership change comes at a critical time for CICC, a leading investment bank in China, which has been navigating a challenging economic landscape and seeking to enhance its market position. The vacancy left by Wu Bo's departure had raised concerns about the bank's strategic direction and operational stability.
Wang's appointment is expected to provide much-needed continuity and leadership as CICC aims to strengthen its investment banking services and respond to evolving market demands. Investors and analysts will be closely watching how his leadership impacts the bank's performance in the coming months.
