ANKARA, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- Bank of China have received permission to open a deposit bank in Turkey, the country's banking watchdog, Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency(BDDK) stated on Friday.
In a statement on its website, the BDDK said Bank of China had brought the "necessary capital" that is worth of 300 million dollars and would apply to start functioning shortly.
