HSBC Holdings Plc tvrdí, že podvod za 400 milionů dolarů je ojedinělý. Investory zajímá proč.
HSBC set aside a $400 million reserve after a fraud at its UK unit, contributing to $1.3 billion in expected credit losses for the first quarter. Chairman Brendan Nelson told shareholders the review of lending policies is nearly complete and the case appears isolated. Shares fell in London and Hong Kong but rose in New York. HSBC has not disclosed the company involved; sources link it to the collapse of Market Financial Solutions.
