HSBC faces third major overhaul

Biggest market Hong Kong is hit with anti-government protests and the COVID-19 outbreak.

HSBC is having its third major overhaul in a decade which may include another management reshuffle, a new CEO, withdrawals, and global job cuts, Bloomberg reports.

Hong Kong, its biggest market, is hit with anti-government protests and the coronavirus outbreak.

On Tuesday, the bank is likely to announce billion-dollar writedowns, cuts at trading desks, and a reduction in exposure to countries from Turkey and Greece to Oman. The bank is also in the process of selling its French retail business and overhauling its US business.

Interim CEO Noel Quinn is also in limbo. Speculations about his replacement include Stephen Bird, former Citigroup Asia top executive, and other external candidates.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
