"We are delighted to see ongoing momentum...we continue to feel good about our growth prospects in Hong Kong," he said. Besides disclosing earnings, Wadhwani announced a strategy that included "targeted investment in structural growth markets" across Asia and Africa. Prudential's annualised premium equivalent (APE) sales, a closely watched gauge of insurance sales, rose 37% to $3 billion on a stronger pickup in sales from Chinese mainland visitors to Hong Kong. Prudential said APE sales in Hong Kong rose more than four times in the first half, and business generated from Chinese mainland visitors enjoyed a "significant increase" following the opening of the border.

WASHINGTON, July 10 (Reuters) - The World Bank on Monday named 15 chief executive officers including financiers and asset managers to a group launched by the lender's president, Ajay Banga, aiming to marshal more private capital to combat climate change and boost investment in developing countries. Banga announced the initiative at a global finance summit in Paris last month alongside Mark Carney, the U.N. special envoy on climate action, and Shriti Vadera, chair of Prudential Plc (PRU.L). The World Bank and the CEOs will work "to develop, test, implement and ultimately scale financing structures that can most effectively mobilize private capital," Carney said in a statement. He said in a statement that the Private Investment Lab CEOs were a "crucial piece of the puzzle" to devise ways to pull more private sector investment into the intertwined challenges of poverty, climate and fragility.

☆ European shares rise as China optimism lifts miners

June 27 (Reuters) - European shares rose on Tuesday as miners gained after hopes of more policy support from China lifted metal prices, while shares of JD Sports dipped even after the British retailer stuck to its profit forecast. The pan-European STOXX 600 index (.STOXX) was up 0.5% by 0813 GMT, after falling for six sessions in a row. China's Premier Li Qiang said the country's economic growth in the second quarter would be higher than the first and was expected to reach the annual economic growth target of around 5%. JD Sports Fashion (JD.L), however, fell 4.1% to the bottom of the STOXX 600 after the company flagged some softening in trade in its North American business in June.

The ECB may raise rates by 50 basis points next week, according to a Reuters poll, following two straight 75 basis point increases. Industrial stocks such as Siemens AG (SIEGn.DE) were among the biggest boosts to the index, while some China-exposed financials such as Prudential Plc (PRU.L) also rose. Energy stocks (.SXEP) led sectoral declines, falling 0.4% dragged down by a fall in shares of heavyweights such as Shell Plc and BP Plc (BP.L). Credit Suisse shares rose nearly 3% after the embattled bank hailed a "milestone" in its turnaround plan on Thursday after raising 2.24 billion Swiss francs ($2.39 billion) as part of a 4 billion franc cash call.
