Russian Bank in Manchuria Ceases Operations
Harbin reports the Russo-Asiatic Bank has liquidated, ending Russia’s economic influence in Manchuria. Once a state bank with 380 overseas branches, it declined after the 1917 revolution and Chinese and French disputes. In 1920 a railway handover to China faltered. 1924 Mukden agreement stripped funds. Paris board disputes French-Russian control, liquidation ordered by France amid potential Franco Russian Chinese Bank formation. Local Harbin branches reduced activity, depositor panic quelled by guaranteed repayments.
