Feb 19 (Reuters) - China's financial regulator has approved Liao Lin as chairman of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd (ICBC) , the world's largest lender by assets, according to a filing released by the bank on Monday.
Liao replaced Chen Siqing, who resigned as chairman because of his age, a bank filing early this month said.
Liao also took over the role of the bank's party chief from Chen, the bank said in January.
Liao, a banking veteran, served at China Construction Bank
for three decades before he joined ICBC. He was appointed vice president of ICBC in 2019 and promoted to president in 2021.
