Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the country's top lender, plans to submit its listing application to the Hong Kong stock exchange early next month, a Hong Kong newspaper reported on Monday.

"According to a ICBC internal memo obtained by mainland media, the bank is to submit its listing application around July 1 ... and it is targeting a listing in October," Takungpao, a Hong Kong Chinese daily reported on Monday.

Hong Kong media had reported the bank was to file its US$12 billion initial public offering application this week and aimed for a trading debut in early September.
