The deals funded by Bank of China, one of the country's Big Four state banks, included those in industries ranging from electronics, infrastructure, commerce and leasing, it said in a statement posted on its website on Monday.
The bank also signed loan contracts worth $9.7 billion during the 2009-2015 period to aid Chinese exporters, and $82.6 billion worth of lending to finance Chinese companies' overseas operations.
Chinese companies, backed by state lenders, have been aggressively snapping up assets overseas. The purchases are partly being driven by slowing growth at home.
In the latest example, China's acquisitive insurer Anbang is engaged in a bidding war with Marriott International Inc (>> Marriott International Inc) for control of Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc (>> Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc).
Bank of China also said that during the 2015-2017 period, the lender aims to provide $100 billion worth of loans to fund China's so-called "One Belt, One Road" strategy, an initiative that envisions building a network of land, sea and air routes that will open new trade links and markets for Chinese firms.
China's firms have been snapping up assets as part of the One Belt One Road project launched in 2013, undertaking a record 19 global infrastructure deals worth $6.8 billion in 2015, according to Thomson Reuters data.
