BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s central bank on Friday announced a fine of 7.12 billion yuan ($984 million) for Ant Group.

Reuters reported earlier on Friday that the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), which has been driving the regulatory revamp at Ant after its $37 billion IPO was scuttled in late 2020, intended to unveil the fine in coming days.
