STANDARD Chartered Bank on Tuesday said it has completed a transaction to provide 50 million yuan (S$10.8 million) in cross-border yuan-denominated loans from its Singapore branch to Tianjin Eco-City Keppel New Energy Development Co Ltd (TEC-Keppel) based in Tianjin, China.

The bank said it is the first foreign lender to have completed a cross-border RMB (renminbi) loan to a company in Tianjin Eco-City (TEC). China last year allowed eligible companies and individuals in the TEC, as well as in the Suzhou Industrial Park, to conduct cross-border yuan-denominated transactions with Singapore.
