AUSTRALIA & New Zealand Banking Corp has agreed to sell its 20 per cent stake in Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank Co for A$1.84 billion (S$1.92 billion), in chief executive officer Shayne Elliott's latest move to unwind an Asian expansion that sapped profits.

China Cosco Shipping Corp and Shanghai Sino-Poland Enterprise Management Development Corp will buy 10 per cent each, the Melbourne-based company said in a statement on Tuesday. The holding was valued at A$2 billion in ANZ's 2015 annual report.
