Ping An Insurance also got a green light from the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, and the China Banking Regulatory Commission, it said in a statement, adding that the deal is still subject to approval from other regulatory authorities.
Ping An said in June last year that it would buy up to 30 percent of Shenzhen Development Bank, including a 16.76 percent stake from the lender's biggest shareholder, Newbridge, and the remainder via a private share placement.
