Jack Ma's Ant Financial eyes more deals in global expansion

Controlled by billionaire Jack Ma, the Hangzhou-based firm will announce more partnerships this year with a focus on Asia and is also "actively assessing" other markets, Douglas Feagin, the head of its international operations, said in a phone interview on Thursday.
