知情人士透露，中国农业银行已要求21家投资银行提交针对其首次公开募股(IPO)计划的建议书，从而朝着世界最大规模IPO之一更近了一步。农行IPO融资规模可能将达到200多亿美元。
农行在2008年进行了重组，当时被普遍视为朝着上市的方向迈出的第一步。农行要求投行提交建议书，第一次显示出中国政府推动农行上市的意愿。知情人士说，他们未被告知农行何时上市，但在上海和香港的上市都有可能在今年进行。 农行官员没有回复请求置评的电话。

洁公司(Procter & Gamble Co.)前首席执行长雷富礼(A.G. Lafley)已经找到新工作。

宝洁公司前首席执行长雷富礼
宝洁是世界上最大的消费品企业。雷富礼在宝洁工作了33年后，已于今年二月份退休。他将在私募股权投资公司Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Inc.担任新职，成为“特别合伙人”，为该公司及其旗下公司就产品创新、全球扩张等管理问题提供咨询。
雷富礼现年62岁，因在宝洁的多宗并购交易而闻名。他说，我想和我真正喜欢的人一起做我真正喜欢做的事；在宝洁33年的职业生涯中，我做的是创造和改造企业，我觉得私募所做的正是这种事。
对于Clayton Dubilier来讲，请进雷富礼是一个很大的人事变动。该公司位于纽约，是私募中的先锋，在汽车租赁公司赫兹(Hertz Corp.)和商业清洁公司庄臣泰华施(Diversey Inc.)等公司中持有股份。Clayton Dubilier是最早标榜运营实力的收购型私募基金之一，它招进了一批明星CEO，比如通用电气(General Electric Co.)前CEO韦尔奇(John F. Welch Jr.)，以及保险公司好事达(Allstate Corp.)前CEO李迪(Edward Liddy)。李迪还曾被政府指派担任保险公司美国国际集团(American International Group)的CEO。
