China snatches up Olympic bullion products  

伦敦奥运特许金条中国市场受青睐

一组由国际奥委会、伦敦奥组委和中国奥委会官方联合授权、限量发售的伦敦奥运特许金条产品奥运前夕在中国发售。承销的中国建设银行方面16日透露，在奥运首周，该组金条的销售额便突破了3亿元人民币。

Shanghai (CNS) -- Sales of limited-edition London 2012 Olympic bullion products exceeded 300 million yuan in the first week, according to a source at China Construction Bank (CCB) on Thursday.

The products are jointly licensed by the International Olympic Committee, the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Chinese Olympic Committee.

Total sales of the bullion are expected to reach one billion yuan.

A financial expert at the CCB said the products represent a good investment, which makes them attractive to Chinese consumers.
